This is an example image of the Document Viewer in Grooper.

The Document Viewer allows users to—you guessed it—view documents! It comes equipped with several different tools and settings that let you see what you need to see the way you need to see it.

Tools

Understanding the Document Viewer means knowing the functionality of its main toolset.

Document Viewer Toolbar

The Document Viewer Toolbar runs along the top of the pane on the right of the screen, just above the document you are viewing. (Some buttons do not apply to certain file types and will be hidden in those contexts.)


Select Tool (pointer icon)

This lets the user make a text based selection

Pan Tool (hand icon)

This lets the user re-position the document in the viewer typically as a result of it being at some level of zoom.

Select Region Tool (rectangle + plus icon)

This lets the user draw a rectangular marquee for selection purposes.

Zoom Tool (rectangle + magnifying glass icon)

This lets users make a rectangular zoom selection and fits that selection to the display window.

Magnify Tool (page + magnifying glass icon)

This lets users click & drag to see a magnified overlay window, great for viewing character or image quality details close-up.

Classic Zoom Tools

  • Zoom In
  • Zoom Out
  • Actual Size
  • Fit window
  • Fit to width
  • Fit to height

Rotate Tools

These tools allow the user to rotate the document in 90° in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise fashion.

Print and Save Page Tools

These tools allow a user to either print or save (as a PDF, among other image formats) the currently displayed page.

Document Viewer Options

The Document Viewer Options allow a user to adjust Anti-Aliasing/font smoothing settings, as well as allows users to show/hide Tooltips and Annotations.

Navigation Buttons

  • |< Go to First Page
  • <- Go back a page
  • Key in page number
  • -> Go forward a page
  • >| Go to Last Page

Rendition Selector (New to Grooper v2.90)

This drop-down lets the user select which rendition of the file to display. For OCR’ed documents, you can choose between the image or the OCR text. For PDF documents that have been Recognized, you can view the PDF in its Native Format or its Character Data renditions. XML-Based Word and Excel Documents (.docx and .xslx files from Office 2007 onward) can be viewed their component XML files, where users can see versioning, formatting, style, application, workbook, sheet, and other information within the document.
