Advanced Document Support

Advanced Document Support

Picvario has now implemented advanced support for Word/Excel/PowerPoint/PDF documents, hence a user with a read permission is able now:

- to see thumbnails of documents generated from their first page;

- to open documents directly in Picvario in Preview mode for their viewing;

- to open documents directly in Picvario in Full Screen mode for their viewing, zooming in/out and text searching;

- to copy text from documents;

- to open hyperlinks from documents in a new tab.


For viewing the document pages, click the icon at the top of the document.


For text search within a document, type text in the search box.


Full text searching

The content of the document is indexed with Elasticsearch and used as a criterion in a full text searching.
