Viewing Documents 

Use

This function displays individual documents.

Features

The document is generally displayed in the screen itself, that is, in place. The document is displayed either using SAP Desktop Office Integration (DOI, more information: BC - Desktop Office Integration) or using viewer control (more information: SAP HTML Viewer). If possible, documents of classes BMP, GIF, JPG, PCX, PS, TIF, TXT and STL are displayed in place using the viewer control first named, the EAI viewer. If, however, a DOI-compatible application is found, this is used to display the document. MS Office 97, Lotus SmartSuite 98 and the Acrobat Reader are currently supported, that is, document classes DOC, XLS, PPT, 123, PRZ, LWP and PDF. Documents of classes GIF, JPG, MOV, HTM, and XML can be displayed in place using HTML control.

Documents of document classes FAX and OTF are displayed in accordance with the settings in the relevant SAP ArchiveLink protocol.

If it is not possible to display the document in place, an appropriate viewer that is available on the PC is started and the document is displayed “out place“.
