Preview

Updated: March 18, 2024

The preview enables you to see an insight of your document.

The PDF files preview is leveraged by pdf.js by Mozilla. The preview of other file types are leveraged by the Nuxeo Platform preview module.

Several means to preview documents are available.

  • For office and PDF documents: Click on the icon in the document view. The preview opens in a popup window.

  • For all previewable documents, a Preview button ( icon) is available on the Document Actions section area (top right on the Web UI document view). On the JSF UI, you can find this on the Summary tab of a document, clicking on More > Preview. The document preview is displayed in a popup window.

  • On the JSF UI, you can also preview a document along with its main metadata on the Info-View pop-up, accessible from any thumbnail listing.
