Getting Start WebViewer Offline_mode

[Francesco Perfetti]

Hi all guys,

I'm developing a javascript/HTML5 (by angular js) web app based on pdftron, I have to download many pdf files and prefetching it. I want use offline mode and indexedDB, is that the right way?

Is there something guide to getting start?

Thanks and have a good day.

Francesco.

Hello Anatoly,

thanks for your reply, I have to develop a share document app, I found how could use offline mode, but I need some advice about three points:

1) How can use webservice to convert .doc and .pdf files to xod?(I need a javascript example and it there isn't on tutorial...why?^^ Javascript is most used)

2) PDFTron can download a zip?

3) Is there code example about cross origin problem when I make a get request to external server?

Thanks a lot and have a good day.

Francesco.

1) If you are talking about PWS Cloud conversion service (http://www.pdftron.com/pws/cloud/), then you can find REST API documentation here: http://api.pdftron.com/v2/docs/index.html

2) WebViewer doesn't support zip files. You would have to implement that yourself. Please note, XOD is already a ZIP compressed file and doesn't require additional compression.

3) Please see the following links, as there are multiple approaches to handle the problem.

3) There is no sample, since there are multiple approaches to handle this problem and most of them involve server component. You can learn more about ways to handle CORS problem here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pdfnet-webviewer/mtdZAC7mpc8/PbpvFbtSIfEJ
