Tips for using the viewer

To manage documents in the viewer, you can use the buttons or the pop-up menu. The specific actions that are available to you depend on the configuration of the viewer for your application. You can also right-click some buttons to access more actions.

Opening documents

When you use the viewer on a website, you typically do not need to select a file because a document is loaded automatically when the web page is loaded. If you need to open a file, click the Open document button Open button to display a dialog box from which you can select an image or document file. Alternatively, right-click the Open document button to enter the URL to an image file or document file.

Saving documents

If the current document is a single file, click the Save document button Save button to save the file to your local disk. If the document is a multipage TIFF file, right-click the Save document button to save the current page as a TIFF file on your local disk.

You cannot save a multipage document in which there is a separate file for each page to your local disk.

Click the magnifier button magnifier button to use a movable magnifier to enlarge part of the viewer. To display the magnifier in a separate window, right-click the magnifier button.
