Question:
How are Documents displayed in the Windows Explorer Client?

Answer:
In the Windows Client and Web Client Viewer, DocuWare displays documents in any format in almost original quality and enables stamps to be set or comments and markings to be placed on the displayed documents. Various technologies are required to guarantee the high display quality of both viewers. If documents are edited in one viewer and then opened in the other viewer, there can be discrepancies in the display of stamps, markings and comments. This mainly applies to documents in Office format (MS Word, MS Excel, TXT, PPT). This restriction does not apply to image formats (DWTIFF, PNG, JPG, PDF). Invoice approval and other workflows are mostly unaffected by potential discrepancies. The following table provides an overview of the display of individual formats in the Viewer of both DocuWare Clients.

Display using the other Client
The Web Client Viewer displays more lines per page than the Windows Client Viewer – the position of set annotations is therefore not 100% congruent.
