Thanks - that appears to be the culprit behind the confusion here. I was able to use that control to rotate a page in a document and i can confirm it persisted after hitting "save".
Also, a bit of a feature request: if using this in a production system, I'd want an easier way to provide the user a generic template, and when they hit "save", have the component save a new (separate) copy (with either the same name or a pre-determined one), without having to require the user to hit "save as" and type a hand-entered name.
The current options don't allow us to do this, though they're frustratingly close. It would simply require a new optional flag called "saveNewCopy", maybe a new field called "newCopyFilename" or similar, and it could utilize the existing "document folder" parameter for the save-to location (which, BTW, if not provided during a "save as", saves new documents to a "null" Folder ID, leaving them in a weird limbo in the appian filesystem - just fyi. it would be better if it could be "forced" somehow, or hardcoded to /Default Community/Temporary KC/Temporary Documents, if a better value isn't provided).
Hi Mike, View Controls are just for user preference on viewing the document in moment, if you open the page manipulation, rotate it and save the document, it will preserve the orientation.
I can confirm the above behavior, i believe (i just installed the plug-in this afternoon after learning about it in the 22.3 webinar). I can rotate the document using the "rotate clockwise" control under "page orientation" in the "View Controls" nav button, save (which saves an apparently new version), but upon reloading the interface, the original document loads again but in its original orientation. Maybe this control isn't meant to indicate the document itself will be rotated? But if so, it's not very well explained.
Thanks for your response Andrey. When we access the site from office network there's restriction of rendering things if network detects something as Mixed Content. Message that we saw from console was - Page was loaded over https but requested an insecure frame. Request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPs.
When we tried the same thing outside office network, it worked.
Hello Mithun, the only limitation is a watermark during rendering. Are there any errors in the console https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/open/ for users it does not render?Where are you opening files from?
Is there any limitation on usage of this plugin with demo mode? As we installed the plugin in our Sandbox environment it's working for one user and not for others. Images & Documents are not rendering in a WebViewer with this plugin except for one user.
We have signed up for individual PDFTron account as well for Webviewer Connected System Plug in configuration.
Hello, happy to help! Please reach out to andrey@pdftron.com. How are you rotating the documents?
I am playing around with this functionality and am having an issue with saving rotated documents. If I draw on the document and save, I see the changes. If I rotate the document and save, then the changes are not reflected in the new document. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Andrey! It's all good now. This component is a really big help.
