Universal Document Viewer and More

DocBridge® View is a powerful and easy-to-use software for viewing and editing electronically stored documents. It can display single, multiple, or stacked pages. An outstanding feature is the support of all common file formats that are used for printing, storage and archiving. Each opened file is displayed in a separate view, but in the same screen. The loaded files can also be of different formats.

Since DocBridge® View is based on the proven DocBridge® CORE Engine, all input formats of the Compart matrix are supported. The user receives a uniform view of all these file formats.

All resource references are supported for the display of the documents. The display on the screen corresponds exactly to the printed and / or archived document. The usual internal and external resources for mixed-object formats such as AFP, such as overlays, page segments, media maps or form definitions or fonts are resolved true to the original.

For the font display, it is possible to switch between the display by system fonts of the same type and the display by fonts rasterized by DocBridge® View itself. Missing forms in the data stream can be "mixed in" for display and printing. Thus, the readability and display loyalty is further increased. Likewise, pages for printing can be provided with an additional text (eg "copy").

In addition to the actual document view, metadata of the documents is also displayed. This includes, for example, information that is important for printing (simplex / duplex, number of print copies, feed slot for the paper). Likewise, the AFP format displays the values of NOPs or TLEs.

Additional features:

  • Display the document pages in a hierarchical tree or in a thumbnail
  • Navigation in the index structure of AFP documents (eg TLE)
  • Selection, printing and e-mailing of individual pages
  • Display module also available as a program library - thus integration in specialized applications

Functions in Detail

What can DocBridge® View do?

The user interface basically consists of two elements:

Viewer Window

In it, the loaded documents can be displayed, no matter which format they have. The user does not notice, he ultimately sees the desired document in the format suitable for him. He can still select individual pages.

The viewer offers all functions necessary for the comfortable display of document pages such as scrolling, turning and zooming as well as scale-to-gray and own fronts of the fonts.

Document Navigation Window

It provides an overview in different views:

  • As a Hierarchical "Tree Structure"
    In it, the stacks, documents and pages are hierarchically structured, similar to the Windows Explorer.
  • As a Thumbnail
    Here all pages of the loaded documents are displayed sequentially as thumbnails.
  • Index View
    It is intended to display the index structure of AFP document batches where each document was indexed through TLE tags.
  • Page Group View
    It represents AFP documents summarized in their page groups (Page Groups).
  • More Functions
    Selection of individual pages or page areas that can be printed and sent directly by e-mail. Targeted text searches in the loaded documents as far as they contain text objects. The search results are color coded. Create and edit annotations, eg. B. marking surfaces, coverage areas, lines, texts, notes, stamp. Comment fields etc.
Resource Management

DocBridge® View is capable of faithfully reproducing the internal and external resources common to mixed-object formats such as AFP, such as overlays, page segments, media maps, or form definitions or fonts.

With regard to fonts, it is possible to switch between the display of system fonts of the same type and the display of fonts rasterized by DocBridge® View itself.

If the document contains a form to be printed but is missing from the data stream, an external form, which may be in one of the supported formats, can be added for display or printing. In this way, the readability and display accuracy can be increased. In the same way, pages for printing with an additional text such for example "copy" or "reprint" provided.

Configuration

DocBridge® View can be configured from the outside as far as possible:

  • The tool can be called up by means of various control parameters. Thus, for example, document lists can be displayed with wildcard characters or the program interface can be adapted to the specific needs of the users.
  • Thanks to its DDE capability, DocBridge® View is an additional building block in another application, such as: For example, in an archive environment: There is an extensive list of function calls that can be used to tailor DocBridge® View to the needs of the application.
