IceViewer HTML5 Document Viewer
Version number:

The IceViewer HTML5 Content-Engine is the heart of IceViewer, which serves every request that requires opening or saving a document. If you open, upload, or save documents, the IceViewer Content-Engine will do the work for you.

The IceViewer HTML5 can have multiple Content-Engines, when all engine serves a different type of storage or document management system, providing endless possibilities for developers to create their engine, and connect to any document management system, no matter how customized it is.

The IceViewer HTML5 has two built-in Content-Engines: FileEngine and DatabaseEngine

• The FileEngine allows users to open documents stored on the local disk, such as folders or shared network locations.
• The DatabaseEngine allows users to pull documents from databases, which means the documents will never be saved to the hard drive.

The IceViewer HTML5 Content-Engine comes with Events, allowing developers to subscribe to a set of IceViewer events for audit purposes, allowing Administrators to see if a document was accessed, or modified.

What are annotations? Annotations are objects that are graphically displayed on the document. Annotations add additional information to the document or emphasizes or redacts a specific part of the document.

The IceViewer HTML5 Includes the following annotations: Comment, Note, Highlight, Signature, Rubberstamp, Custom Stamp, Text,Rectangle, Ellipse, Line, Arrow, Redact, and Timestamp.

Additionally, the IceViewer HTML5 allows users to collaborate in threaded discussions directly within the document using the Annotation Replies feature. By replying to existing annotations, team members can provide feedback, ask questions, or offer further insights in a structured manner.

Optical character recognition or OCR is a common method of digitizing printed texts, documents, sales receipts, mail or any scanned documents so that they can be electronically searched, edited, stored more compactly and displayed online.

IceViewer HTML5 provides the possibility to transform scanned documents into editable and searchable text files, which can be conveniently viewed and shared via electronic means. The ability to instantly search through content is extremely useful, especially in an office setting that has to deal with high document inflow.

IceViewer HTML5 supports certain URL parameters, that can be used to control the entire viewing session, including the followings:

• The Document to be opened
• The IceViewer HTML5 User Interface
• The Content-Engine to be used

When you specify the Document and the Content-Engine in the URL, the IceViewer HTML5 will retrieve the document from the designated storage or document management system managed by the given Content-Engine. This way, you can use multiple Content-Engines at the same time with IceViewer HTML5 by simply opening documents by URL.

The IceViewer HTML5 also has a predefined user interface for embedding, that can be specified in the URL, allowing developers to integrate IceViewer HTML5 into their application without writing a single line of code.

The IceViewer HTML5 comes with a built-in feature to automatically redact sensitive information from documents.

The intelligent redact is extremely useful to redact sensitive or personal information from scanned documents before handing it over to third-parties.

The IceViewer HTML5 can redact the followings automatically:

• Social Security number
• Credit Card number
• Phone number
• Email address
• Date

To customize the IceViewer HTML5, Site Owners no longer need to edit complicated configuration files! Under the hood, the IceViewer HTML5 has a complete Administration panel, where Administrators and Site Owners can configure the following:

• Content-Engine: Configure the default Content-Engine for IceViewer HTML5, which will open and save documents from your storage or document management system.
• User Interface: Which icons and features appear/are available for the viewing session.
• Email Sending: Email Sending preferences for sending documents via email.
• Document Management and Indexing: Configure Document Indexing and bind data to documents to make organizing and searching documents easier.
• Event Logging for Audit: Enable the IceViewer HTML5 Event Logging for audit purposes, allowing Administrators to see if a document was accessed, or modified.
• Database Content-Engine: If you would like to store the IceViewer HTML5 documents in a database, you can easily configure the database connection on the Admin panel.

IceViewer HTML5 comes with a sophisticated JavaScript API for integration of the UI (User Interface) appearance and features with existing JavaScript, Java, ASP.NET, PHP, Python, or any other application. Just write a few lines of code and your IceViewer HTML5 integration is ready (streamline your integration.)

The built-in back-end RESTful API allows developers to create background processes like OCR, document clean-up, converting the document, or searching text data.

The server-side RESTful API can be used to utilize IceViewer HTML5 features.

• Create Background Processes
• Document Viewing, Editing, Saving
• Downloading, Emailing Documents
• OCR, Page Rotation, Document Cleanup
• Getting Page and Document Information, including Annotations
