Provider of document, content and imaging solutions, Accusoft has released Prizm Content Connect v6 HTML5 zero-footprint content viewer, with annotation and redaction controls, thumbnail display and more.

In addition to the Proxy Server and SharePoint edition, this release also includes improvements to the Prizm Content Connect Flash viewer. Company officials said these improvements contain product enhancements designed to provide users with a better response when paging through a file as it is loading. Additionally, enhancements have been made for the support of many popular formats, such as AutoCAD and PDF.

“With these HTML5 enhancements, Prizm Content Connect has been optimized to view documents in desktop and mobile web browsers that support HTML5,” said Brian Pageau, director of Product Group at Accusoft.

Since the HTML5 Viewer relies on the functionality built into the Web browser, the HTML5 Viewer eliminates the need for plug-ins to function. Company officials said the new offering enables users to focus on the task at hand by eliminating the need to open third-party applications.

Moreover, it limits security risks from third-party browser plug-ins and provides IT administrations the flexibility to choose the right browser for their environment needs, said company officials.

Users will now be able to create and edit annotations, add a text note to a document or redact sensitive information from client records, using their fingertips on a smartphone or tablet device, Pageau said.

Accusoft provides a full spectrum of document, content and imaging solutions. With its broad range of solutions, Accusoft is committed to delivering enterprise grade and fully-supported applications, and a globally recognized suite of software development kits (SDK).

Recently, the company released Accusoft Barcode Scanner app for iOS, using the barcode engine of the Barcode Xpress Mobile software development toolkit (SDK), with barcode reader support for DataMatrix, PDF417, QR Code, UPC, Code 128, and 25 other types.
