Hello, I just wanted to ask a quick question. I am currently trying to implement this web viewer into an Appian training project on which I am currently engaged. I have managed to implement PDF editing, however my issue is that if the viewer is seeded with a docx document, the original document contents can't be edited by Apryse. The only things that can be edited are subsequent annotations. Looking at the demo video, it does appear I should be able to edit original text. I have even tried to enable the "convert to PDF on load" setting, thinking that perhaps only PDFs can be edited. Still this doesn't help. Any advice?
Hi Benjamin, thanks for your comment.
You are correct that only PDF files can be used for the Content Editing feature. My suggestion would have been to loadAsPdf like you mentioned which should enable all PDF features for office documents - what happens on your end when you attempt this?
Feel free to reach out via email at twinter@apryse.com if you prefer to set up a quick call.
Thanks Thomas, the file loads fine but any initial text that came as part of the original .docx is not editable. I have emailed you about this and a separate issue.I hope to hear back.Kind regards,
Benjamin
