VirtualViewer
Tampa, Florida, United States
What it is
VirtualViewer is the former name of PrizmDoc for Java, a document-viewing product for enterprise content management applications. It provides browser-based viewing, annotation, redaction, page manipulation, and conversion for formats including PDF, Word, Excel, AFP, DWG, and TIFF. Tools include splitting, merging, comparison, OCR, watermarks, and thumbnail panels. Page on Demand delivers requested pages without first requiring the whole document to download, while server and browser processing are split for viewing. Users can open documents in tabs and assemble virtual documents from pages in multiple sources. Deployment options include cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Integration interfaces include JavaScript and REST APIs, callbacks, and a RESTful content handler, with connectors for Alfresco, IBM, and Pegasystems. Accusoft lists secure redaction and controls to disable downloads. The product supports Java 11 or higher and environments including Tomcat, WebSphere, Windows, Unix, and Linux. Pricing is available on request; a trial is offered after email registration, with no duration stated.
