VirtualViewer® — Java and .NET Server Options
VirtualViewer® offers you the option to combine its robust viewing client(s) with one of our powerful server modules to deliver a complete end-to-end viewing solution. To satisfy your platform and application requirements we provide you with the option of either a 100% Java or a .NET server component.
Add our server component to further enhance your viewing experience and reap the benefits of true high-speed viewing™ capabilities:
- Reduce download time for multi-page documents – Our unique Page on Demand™ technology allows single page retrieval from the server. Our powerful server component decompresses and breaks-up multi-page documents on the server and sends only the individual page(s) requested by the user. Pages can be requested by clicking on a thumbnail or by specifying a specific page within the document. This not only speeds delivery to the user but also saves bandwidth by not sending the entire document or streaming data to the client.
- Simplify navigation using advanced thumbnails – Thumbnails can be displayed as either the first page of the document or each individual page of a document in the viewer. The server creates individual thumbnail images of only the pages shown in the thumbnail pane, and only generates more when the user navigates through the document. This allows the user to quickly and easily browse for a specific page within a multi-page document.
- Create virtual documents to target your viewing – Request a document from the client that actually consists of one or more pages from multiple document sources on the server. Virtual documents act as a collection of any number of single or multi-page documents that appear as a single, continuous multi-page file with thumbnails.
- Control bandwidth usage with high-quality reload – Administrators can configure VirtualViewer to deliver smaller black-and-white images as the default but allow users to quickly reload individual pages to retrieve high resolution color versions as necessary.
- Caches data on the server – The server module temporarily caches documents and images retrieved from the repository preventing redundant calls to the repository and saving valuable time.
- Integrates with any server-based repository or database – Our sophisticated API makes integration fast and easy.
