Preview pane

Stored content is previewed based on the PSIsafe Desktop client preview settings, as well as any locally installed applications or plugins. The PSIsafe Desktop default Auto preview settings display content effectively, but this setting can be changed for each user to suit their individual preferences. Each file type is assigned to one of four preview engines:

• Auto: This setting is used for most file types by default. It uses the PSIsafe Desktop built-in preview software and incorporates the LeadTools Toolkit preview settings to render an image with the toolkit.
• Windows: Sometimes users have a Windows application that renders images in a more preferable fashion. This preview setting also serves as a failover viewer when a document is set for Paging or Auto and for some reason the document cannot be previewed with that setting.
• Browser: Any compatible browser plugin can render content in the preview pane. For example, Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin functions as both a preview module, and, when Adobe Acrobat Pro DC is open, can even act as an editor with full program capabilities.
• Paging: This setting is compatible with most filetypes. It improves efficiency by downloading one preview page at a time rather than the entire document. It also renders at the minimum display resolution to expedite the loading process.

At the bottom of the preview pane, depending on the preview engine used, a toolbar appears that enables you to navigate pages, adjust zoom and scaling options, as well as perform basic edits such as rotation. In some cases, if an advanced preview engine is loaded that connects to a browser plugin or third party program plugin, additional functionality may be available.

The batch capture preview module also opens up additional functionality of the preview pane, while limiting the preview engine selection to the default setting. When TIFF images are loaded, annotations become available within the toolbar. To enable annotations, select Annotations and click Enabled.

To make annotations placed on a document permanent, in the Batch Options window, open the General tab and select the Make annotations permanent when filing for TIF check box.

You can adjust workflow module preview settings using the gear icon in the lower right of the preview pane.

The workflow preview pane has additional features unique to the workflow module, and you can use the toolbar above the previewed images to perform workflow actions.
