Embedded Printing: Accurate printing for technical drawings and other complex documents

Copied to clipboard

WebViewer offers two different printing options, rasterized and embedded. Embedded printing passes a document directly to the browser to print, bypassing our default rasterization process. While rasterization has its advantages, embedded printing preserves vectors, fonts, and other precise details that are necessary in technical drawings and similar complex documents.

How to enable embedded printing:

Enable embedded printing using the useEmbeddedPrint API.

WebViewer(...)
  .then(function(instance) {
    instance.UI.useEmbeddedPrint(true);
  });

Fluent UI: Simplified navigation with familiar design language

Copied to clipboard

Consolidated into a single tab, the Fluent Designer tool has become remarkably easy to use. Inspired by Microsoft’s design language, Fluent has been refreshed with new iconography and an organized layout. Users will spend less time enabling on the tool and more time working on your beautiful templates.

Modular UI Beta: Customize WebViewer’s look and feel

Copied to clipboard

Buttons, headers, panels, and flyouts have become modular components that can be easily customized and assembled. With accessibility becoming paramount in modern design, create bespoke user experiences that branch from WebViewer’s worldclass ingenuity.
