Document Images
One of the important components of the application is the module that is used to view the images of printed documents. All images are stored in the data center as PDF files and sent to the console on request. To view the documents you are interested in, you should select them with the mouse and execute the Open Documents command (or just double-click the document you need). The document will be downloaded to the console in the background and then opened. Since document images are stored in the PDF format, you must have some software for viewing PDF documents in order to view them. For example, Adobe PDF Reader.
The module consists of a table with the list of all printed documents sorted chronologically. Table columns contain such print job properties as: username, host name, printer name and so on. Data in the table are grouped by date. Besides, it can be filtered by various criteria if you use the Edit Filter dialog box.
The module allows you to perform the following operations:
- View and filter data
- Open documents
- Save documents to the local computer
- Delete all documents. Attention! Documents are physically deleted from the data center and cannot be recovered
- Save the list of documents
- Print the list of documents
- View the download status of a document.
A special panel labeled Downloads is used to view the document download status. This panel shows the name of the document being downloaded, the download rate, the amount of already downloaded data and percentage. Also, you can cancel the download by clicking the Cancel button. Not more than 5 documents can be downloaded at a time, the rest of documents are queued.
Besides viewing a document in a separate window, it is also possible to preview it directly in the program window. Click the Show Preview button to do it. Right after that you will see the area for previewing the images of printed documents at the bottom of the window. Attention! This feature works only if you have Adobe Acrobat Reader v7 or higher installed.
