Protected viewer layouts & Document formats
For Public (open access) and Private (accessed controlled) usage a range of alternative display formats are available, to suit different document types and publisher's preferences. The main "standard viewer" formats are single page scrolling (continuous), 2-page magazine style, and single page-by-page (presentation, selectable) format. A format selector is generally provided to enable users to switch between formats to suit their preferences and target device size and orientation. Bespoke variants of these formats can be provided as part of project-based service provision, including MS Office files and true PowerPoint operation and display but using HTML5 (so no source files are held on the servers, providing extra security). Icons can be included on bespoke formats for functions like printing or requesting a printed copy of a document, enquiring about other publications or services, help, action after logging out etc. Please see below for examples of the standard formats provided (all are scalable). Note that any of the converted pages can be hosted on your own site using iframe embedding. Examples can be seen here and on our Gallery page
For documents that are image/graphics-based, like comics, manga, graphic novels, photographic portfolios and even music scores, our Graphics viewer can be the best options. Again, this has many publisher-selectable and user-selectable options, as illustrated further down this page and on our Graphics Gallery page

| Print enabled | Printing from secured documents is normally prevented. However, in this bespoke example, printing of single pages or a limited range of pages is permitted. Printed output includes on-page watermarking identifying the user, date/time etc, as required. In this screenshot we also show the sidebar open with the text searching tab opened and highlighted 'hits' for the word 'goal'.
