PDF/Image Viewer

The PDF/Image Viewer differs from the Brava Viewer. It supports the following file formats only:

  • PDF

  • TIFF (single or multi-page)

  • Image files (jpg, png, gif, bmp)

If a user is assigned a PDF/Image viewer license then can only use the viewer for documents with the file extensions listed above. The Brava viewer supports several different types of file formats but does not allow you to reorder pages in a PDF document.

The  PDF/Image Viewer allows users to:

  • Reorder pages in a PDF or multiple paged TIFF document

  • Open documents in FileHold or from your local computer.

  • Open multiple documents at a time. Each file is shown on a separate tab. Note that the tabbing feature needs to be enabled in the User Preferences > Advanced tab.

  • View thumbnails of a multi-page document.

  • Reorganize pages of a PDF or multi-page TIFF image using drag and drop.

  • Append an image to the current image file.

  • Insert an image from one image file to another image file using drag and drop.

  • Delete pages.

  • Select multiple pages of the document via the thumbnails.

  • Saved the altered document to FileHold or to your local machine as a PDF, JPEG, or TIFF only.

  • Print the document.

  • Undock the viewer so it is in its own window.
