DocBridge View is a universal multi-document viewer which can be used in many application scenarios in the field of document and output management due to its numerous integration functions and controllability. It is state-of-the-art in its support of a wide range of mixed-object formats.

The user interface essentially consists of two elements:

Viewer window

The pages of all loaded documents can be displayed here, no matter which format they are in - even if all loaded documents are in different formats. The user will not see these format differences at all. They will only see the displayed image of the page.

The viewer provides all functions required for the easy display of document pages, such as scrolls, turning and zoom functions and display options such as scale-to-grey and font screening.

Document navigation window

This provides an overview of the loaded documents as different views:

• Document tree:
  The batches, documents and pages are displayed here in hierarchical categories in Explorer style.
• Miniature view:
  All pages of the loaded documents are displayed sequentially as preview images.
• Index view:
  This is intended for the display of the AFP document batch index structure, where the individual documents have been indexed using TLE tags.
• Page group view:
  It displays AFP documents collected into their page groups.

Other functions available to the user are:

• The selection of individual pages or page areas which can be printed or sent directly by email.
• Search for text in the loaded documents, as long as they contain text objects, with highlighted search results.
• Production and processing of annotations, e.g. marking areas, masked areas, lines, text, notes and stamps.

Resource management

A great deal of time is invested in resource processing. DocBridge View is able to accurately break down the internal and external resources usual for the mixed-object formats and AFP, such as overlays, page segments, medium maps and form definitions or fonts. When displaying the font, an option has been provided to switch between the representation using similar system fonts and those fonts rasterized by DocBridge View itself.

If a form is linked to the document which is used for printing and which is missing in the data stream, an external form which can be provided in one of the supported formats can be combined for display or printing to increase the readability and faithfulness of the reproduction. In the same way, pages can be provided with additional text such as “Copy” or “Reprint” before they are printed.

Configurability

DocBridge View can also be extensively configured externally:

• It can be accessed using a variety of control parameters. For example, document lists can be displayed with wildcard symbols and the program interface can be adjusted according to user requirements.
• Due to its DDE capabilities, DocBridge View can be used as an additional building block in another application e.g. in an archiving environment: There is a comprehensive list of function requests which can be used to adjust DocBridge View to the requirements of use.
