ECL Viewer Redlining does not work in cFolders for PDF

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using cFolders 4.5 with ECL viewer 6.0 patch level 4. Redlining functionality works for AutoCAD and graphics files such as JPG. However, when I try to use the redlining functionality on a PDF I get the message "This feature is currently not supported. Please contact your cFolders system administrator. The ECL viewer will shut down".

Any ideas on why this is happening. Is there anything specific I need to do to enable redlining for PDF files on cFolders.

Thanks,

Hi,

No need to go with all these coding, just implement the note 1034072. It will work......

I have had a similar issue and got resolved by implementing this note.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Lashan,

This can be only realized in form of a modification.

To get the functionality, you have to change the code of BSP page

'doc_de_redline.htm'. You can find this information at transaction SE80

> BSP application 'CFX_RFC_UI' > Pages with Flow Logic

Switch to Layout:

<! object width="800px" height="500px" classid="clsid:E5B45843-BBE0-11D4-A7A4-0060087A7901" alt="Please wait....." >

Regarding redlining of pdf files:

Please create a file" EAI Viewer.xml " and place the below xml code in the file. save it.

Code is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

please upload this to your WebDAV (replace the old one and save this under a different name as

backup). The way to access WebDAV is explained in the cFolders configuration guide, chapter 'Creating the Settings URL for WebDAV Access' (the guide is attached to note 973764).

I hope that this information help you to solve the issue.

Hi Aravinda,

Yes, I believe the java applet is upto date. ECL viewer works for all other file types such as AutoCAD and JPEG. It only with PDF I am having the issue in cFolders.

Thanks,

Hope this help you

Additional info: I tried redlining a PDF in DMS and it worked. So the ECL viewer is capable of redlining PDF documents. It just does not do it in cFolders for some reason. Has anybody gotten this to work in cFolders?
