The DocumentViewer provides a very easy way to display the contents of a document, edit a template's form fields and to navigate around a document within a web browser.
The server component returns standard web file formats (HTML, CSS, JS and JPG etc.), thus documents can be displayed in the browser without having to install any third party plugins, nor extensions.
Using the elegant AJAX enhanced web interface, an end-user can:
- Navigate backward and forward in a document
- Jump to the first or last page of a document
- Zoom in and out of a document
- Fit a document to the width of the DocumentViewer
- Fit a document to the width and height of the DocumentViewer
All file formats that are supported by TX Text Control .NET Server are also supported by the DocumentViewer.
In addition to displaying the contents of a document in the browser, the DocumentViewer in edit mode provides a very easy way to collect data from web-based forms, which have been created with TX Text Control or Microsoft Word.
Templates, which contain any supported form fields can be populated in a web browser. The entered data is POSTed back to the server, upon which it is collected and post-processed. Post-processing includes saving the data as XML or saving the template and data together in a print-ready document. Optionally, collected data can be cached on the client, where it can be used to resume editing at a later date. In such cases, the data is used to pre-populate the form fields the next time the template is opened.
