How does the document viewer work? How does it render/display files, and does it store the files

kimjohn

Does the document viewer store a copy of the file being viewed on the client machine, or is it rendered from the server without saving a local copy? What is the underlying technology behind the document viewer? Are you leveraging the browser's capabilities for display/rendering, or does your solution use proprietary technology?

The Document Viewer does not download any files to the server itself; it solely functions as a viewer. It accepts various types of data selected in the form (FileData/Document/FileReference) and displays it. Once the user navigates away from the form, the data is discarded. During viewing, it utilizes the browser's rendering capabilities. It has been confirmed that, similar to viewing a PDF directly in a browser, a temporary file (TMP) is created in the user's Temp folder when using the Document Viewer.
