Viewing renditions

When you view documents as described in Viewing documents, you see either the source document or a read-only rendition of the document. By default, when you view a document in the PowerUser viewer, you see the source document even if a rendition is present in the vault. The default view in Meridian Power is configured by a system administrator but is typically of the rendition, not the source document.

Note    
  • Regardless of the settings named in this topic, your ability to view documents depends on whether you have not been granted the View Content privilege.
  • Renditions are shown in the viewer that is assigned to the Acrobat file type as described in Changing viewers unless a system administrator has configured the system to use only a specific viewer.
  • To open properly in its default (Windows registered) application, the BCRenditionPropertySet.Format property of the rendition must be set to the file extension of the rendition. Meridian will attempt to open the file in Adobe Reader if the property is empty.
