PrizmDoc Viewer continuously improves the rendering of documents, which sometimes causes document content to be shifted. This affects documents with floating layout, such as text, Docx, Xlsx, Html, Eml, etc, and does not affect documents where layout is fixed, such as PDF or raster formats. If markup was created for affected documents in a previous version of PrizmDoc, it may not match displayed documents in a new version of PrizmDoc.
In order to keep your saved markup intact with rendered documents, use PrizmDoc PDF Viewing Packages.
A PDF Viewing Package is a cached/stored PDF version of a document that the Viewer will use when viewing a document.
You can use the create_viewing_packages.py script as a starting point for preparing viewing packages from your documents.
Python v3.13 or higher.
pip install .
usage: python create_viewing_packages.py [-h] -d DOCUMENTS_FOLDER -u PAS_BASE_URL -s PAS_SECRET_KEY
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DOCUMENTS_FOLDER Path to the documents folder
-u PAS_BASE_URL PAS base url, e.g. 'http://localhost:3000'
-s PAS_SECRET_KEY PAS secret key. See https://help.accusoft.com/PrizmDoc/v13.28/HTML/pas-configuration.html
If you run the script successfully and then try re-running it, it will report that viewing packages already exist and skip their re-creation. If necessary, you can delete viewing packages from PAS storage, using Viewing Packages API.
The documents folder includes a small set of example documents that you can use for your testing.
This script assumes that source documents are available on the local drive. You will need to replace collectFilesystemDocuments, basicFilesystemIdGenerator and basicFilesystemDisplayNameGenerator with functions specific to your kind of document storage.
