Annotations in webpage

[ianrr18]

Hi All,

unsure whether I have posted this in the right section of the forum or not.

we are looking to use GD to present documents through a web interface and allow users to annotate the documents. Is it possible to use GD for this? and if so does anyone have an example of this working.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I know this is possible to use GdPicture.NET com version in a web page. We have customers doing that. Prerequisites are to use IE, get Framework 2.0 installed in client machines.

Here an example of article (there is several) talking about this approach: http://codebetter.com/petervanooijen/20 ... -web-page/

From our side, we never tested this way. We have plans to bring technical support for Web integration within a future release. We will also provide SilverLight controls based on SilverLight 5 that should provide PDF viewing, annotation & remote scanning features.

Kind regards,

Loïc

Thanks for reply.

Do you have an example of this working or some code snippets? it would really be useful. We are at the point of purchasing and this is the last thing we need to cover off

Hi,

Unfortunately, we don't yet have yet such example. We will soon provide support for web application development but we are not yet ready for that.

Kind regards,

Is there any timeframe for the release of the Silverlight control? I already have a license for the ActiveX control and would like to stick with the same product, but it is dependent on your release schedule for the functionality.

Also, is there a planned list of features the silverlight control will support?

Thanks.

Hi Loic,

From the website you quoted about using a winform usercontrol on a webpage, after the list of requirements is the following quote.

Code: Select all

Note that when your user control uses other custom assemblies, not part of the installed framework, the control will not display. The assembly itself is downloaded, the dependencies are not.

The GdPicture.Net library would be considered a customer assembly and therefore wouldn't be downloaded. Can you explain at all how you propose we can approach this sort of development?

Regards.

Hi,

We've made lot of try internally to deliver an example of GdPicture Webpage usage in client side. And we simply concluded that we have to bring other solution through SilverLight...

To get the control working we had to:

- Install the GdPicture.NET package in the client side (I think creating a cab should work, but we never tested this).
- Set full trust to the website in Internet Explorer
- Modify the .NET framework policies to raise full trust on GdPicture.NET.

We just enlarged our team to rush SilverLight integration. We have lot of code to port and many .NET features to re-implement from scratch.
To conclude we abandoned the idea to provide support of GdPicture.NET winform control in webpage and concentrate lot of efforts to deliver pure web Plugin for 2012.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,

Loïc

Hi,

We finally found a solution to be able to all features of GdPicture.NET in client side.
You have to download the latest 8.4.5 edition.

You can find an online demo demonstrating how to annotate documents from web here: https://www.gdpicture.com/products/dotne ... ation.html
