View Documents

Meridian Enterprise includes the AutoVue viewer developed by Oracle, Inc. for viewing documents. It is the easiest way to view your documents. You can view documents in AutoVue without the documentʹs native application installed. The viewer pane displays buttons in a toolbar that you can use to view documents in various ways and inspect them. Depending on your security permissions, you may also be able to draft print or redline documents. Regardless of what you do in the viewer pane, it will not change the document—all viewer actions are either temporary or are saved elsewhere.

Note:

  • If your system is configured to use AutoVue, you might be prompted for your user name and password the first time that you view a document for each Meridian Enterprise client session.

  • Oracle, Inc. may add or remove file formats in each release of the software at its discretion.

All documentation for AutoVue products is available on the Oracle website. This includes the Oracle AutoVue Userʹs Manual in several languages and a Supported File Formats document that lists the supported file formats.

To install a viewer for a file format that is not supported by AutoVue, see Install Third-Party Viewers. To use a different viewer for a particular file format, see Change Viewers.
