This functionality was modified in an update. For more information, see Enable the PDFTron viewer (modified in an update).

Make sure the following view and markup settings are enabled:

  1. Locate the Web Client settings.json file. For example:

    [drive]\SDx Server Files\WebClient_Sites\[SiteName]\settings.json

  2. Edit the following settings:

    Setting

    Value

    PDFTRON_VIEWMARKUP_ENABLED

    true

    PDFTRON_COMPARE_ENABLED

    true

    If the PDFTRON_VIEWMARKUP_ENABLED or PDFTRON_COMPARE_ENABLED setting is not present in settings.json, then it defaults to true.

What does the settings.json file look like?

Here is an example of a settings.json file showing the PDFTRON_VIEWMARKUP_ENABLED and PDFTRON_COMPARE_ENABLED settings:

{

"VIEWER_AUTOSAVEMARKUP_INTERVAL": 0,

"VIEWER_SYMBOLS_URL": "http://QA_TEST.internet.com/TestSite/viewers/resources/symbols/symbols.json",

"VIEWER_STAMPS_URL": "http://QA_TEST.internet.com/TestSite/viewers/resources/stamps/stamps.json",

"VIEWER_ACTIONPINS_URL": "http://QA_TEST.internet.com/TestSite/viewers/resources/actionPins/actionPins.json",

"PDFTRON_VIEWMARKUP_ENABLED": true,

"PDFTRON_COMPARE_ENABLED": true

}

Make sure the following rendition generation settings are enabled:

These settings must be enabled in both configuration files to avoid an unsupported hybrid environment where different technologies are used to generate and view renditions.

  1. Edit the PDFTRON_RENDERING_ENABLED setting in the Web Client settings.json file. For example, located at: [drive]\SDx Server Files\WebClient_Sites\[SiteName]\settings.json

    Setting

    Value

    PDFTRON_RENDERING_ENABLED

    True

  2. Edit the PDFTronRenderingEnabled setting in the SPFAppServer.config file. For example, located at: [drive]\SDx Server Files\Web_Siteame]\SPFConfigService\SPFSharedSettings\SPFAppServer.config

    Setting

    Value

    PDFTronRenderingEnabled

    True
