The viewer is a viewing and rasterization scroll view component that handles a number of viewing operations including rendering, caching, high level zoom rendering and layout modes.

Viewing represents reading a document and displaying it as the author intended. Through the process of rasterization, it can take document data and convert it into pixels that come together to be rendered on a display.

• Interactive PDF Viewing or Rasterization

• Regex text search across a page or an entire document
• Manipulate pages (rotate, crop, move, copy/export, delete, merge documents)
• View PDF separations

• Selective viewing and hiding of contents in different layers (OCGs)
• Security settings (custom encryption & DRM controls, dynamic watermarks)
