    Hey Priya,

    The error you see seems rather odd. Same with the button text. It doesn't seem like the worker files or even the language files are loading in your environment. You might be running into some security or deployment issues. I would recommend checking your browser console for more details and the network panel for the failed requests. Normally, these files should be served in your environment once the plugin is installed. However, it doesn't seem like that is the case or the network requests are being blocked.

  • Hi we are trying to get a hands on for the component by setting it up in our environment. We are unable to view the document. we are getting an error as "The worker has encountered an error". Can you kindly help. we tried with different browsers, filetypes including pdf, word, jpeg

  • v5.7.0 Release Notes
    • Updated WebViewer to version 11.1.1. You can read the full changelog here: docs.apryse.com/.../changelog
    • Updated component to use new UI APIs
    • Added WCAG compliance to the UI
    • Added option to use modular UI. The UI will remain as legacy until the next major version. Modular UI component properties are not available through properties yet. Please use the config file for now.

    Hello,

    I believe I found your support ticket, and I've responded there. Please let me know if that wasn't it!

  • in reply to Wen Siang Woo

    This is happening to us too. We opened a support case. 

  • v5.6.3 Release Notes
    • Updated WebViewer to nightly stable build 20241028
    • Fixed issue where form field calculations don't work for specific files
    • Updated UI dependency
  • in reply to Wen Siang Woo

    Hello,

    I cannot confirm this behavior.

    Could you please clarify which version you updated from and to?

    Did you get any errors in the browser console and network panel?

    You might have to clear your cache in Chrome as Appian will cache the component files. Although, the recent change should avoid this as the component pointing to the wrong version of WebViewer will cause errors.

  • Seems like the latest version is not able to show the documents in Chrome. Firefox is ok. Anyone can confirm this behaviour? Thanks.

  • v5.6.2 Release Notes
