Configure the Viewer Options
Meridian Explorer can use one of the following viewers to show documents:
-
AutoVue installed in a client/server deployment for use either by Meridian Enterprise or Meridian Explorer or both. AutoVue is only supported for backward compatibility.
-
Accruent viewer (ActiveX) control that is installed on the client PCs by the PowerWeb setup program. With this option, you can use the viewers described in Third-Party Viewers.
-
Adobe viewer supported by the browser.
-
PDFTron server-based viewer that is installed by default and can be used to view PDF renditions.
Which viewer is used and for what documents is determined by the viewers that are available to the client PC, by the central options configured as described in the following task, and by the preferences that are configured by the user. The default viewer window options are acceptable for most users but you can configure numerous options to further optimize their experience.

Not all viewers display redlines.
-
The viewers in the Viewers group are listed in priority order.
-
The first viewer that is enabled will be used to show PDF documents.

The default viewer is used to generate the thumbnail images shown in Meridian Explorer and the viewer must be installed on the Meridian Enterprise Server computer.
