System Integration

DocView is an image viewer for document imaging systems.  DocView can readily be integrated into existing database systems or used as a stand-alone document viewer.

The detailed specifications for the integration are contained in the INTEGR.TXT file.  Essentially, you need to create a SETUP.SSU with the specifications for integration.  Without the SETUP.SSU file, DocView will run as a basic viewer and some of the menu items and toolbar buttons will removed.  The starter system includes a sample setup.ssu file.  If not needed, please delete or rename the file.

DocView can be used as a stand-alone document viewer with multi-page TIFF file capabilities   and can also be launched from other Windows programs and with the

DOCVIEW.EXE FILENAME.XXX command.
