Steps:
Annotation font type drop down, lets the user choose a particular font for text annotation.
By default, font selected is Arial and the drop down is disabled.
User can add additional fonts that enables the drop down to choose their preferred font.
Configuring ICN(IBM Content Navigator) for additional fonts:
Configuring standalone Daeja ViewONE for additional fonts:
User can continue to use Daeja ViewONE while the font generation process is in progress.
In general, any font would have Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic font styles and the respective TTF files.
For example, Arial font has the following font styles and its corresponding TTF files.
Arial Regular– arial.ttf
Arial Bold – arialb.ttf
Arial Italic- ariali.ttf
Arial Bold Italic – arialbi.ttf
In font resource file generation process, for each font style, an AWT window gets opened, hence for each font, that has four styles, four AWT windows gets opened simultaneously.
On the server machine, AWT Windows opens as part of the font generation process and gets closed automatically once the process completes.
User must mention the font family name as the value for the server parameter.

from Administration -> Settings -> Daeja ViewONE -> Server -> Additional Settings. Create new parameter and add
the logging property you want to enable and save the settings.
For example, server logging properties like
traceCache, traceFilter, traceNet, traceOffice, traceStreamer can now be dynamically updated in ICN without the
need of server restart
Note : This will only work on ICN and not custom applications.
IBM Daeja ViewONE now supports opening of hyperlinks in the PDF document. If a document has
hyperlinks which has external websites(URL) as targets, users can now click on the link and
the targeted website will open in a new tab.
Note: Currently internal links in the document are not supported
Note: Mixture of Hebrew and other languages in the same annotation is not supported. If they want to add other language in the text, then they can select one more annotation.
IBM Daeja ViewONE now supports printing Multi byte characters in the Text annotation using the fallback
font Arial unicode. User should have Arial unicode in their system
If user does not want to use
arial unicode as a fallback font, they can set their own fallback font by using newly introduced html
parameter<param name="defaultprintAnnotFont" value="value1"/>
Users can use the new HTML
parameter in case of Text cut off issues at the bottom of Text annotation in the print output.
<param name="adjustAnnotTextSize" value="true"/>

drop down list for changing the font size.
Text annotations now have font
size dropdown combined with an editable textbox that allows users to either choose
value from list or set custom size of x.x granularity. The increment / decrement
buttons also can be used to increase / decrease the font size respectively.
Go to the page at Software Product Compatibility Reports to create a high-level report for operating systems, hypervisors and prerequisites.
When printing PDF documents with annotations, the annotations are embedded in the
downloaded PDF document as native PDF annotations. This reduces the time taken
to print documents, especially large documents.
This process currently only applies to printing PDF documents when 'Print Original Size'
is selected in the print settings. If this is not selected or the printed document contains
other file formats, the print process completely flattens the content of each page.
The time it takes to prepare a PDF with annotations for print using the optimized print
depends on the total number of annotations. In most cases you need to have several hundreds
of annotations in a single document before the time difference becomes noticeable.
With the optimized print any annotations created in IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual are embedded
into the document as native PDF annotations. Therefore they are recognized as active annotations
when the PDF is viewed by tools that support editing of PDF documents. If this document is
subsequently viewed by IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual, any annotations will be treated as static
content where loading a document with pre-applied native annotations cannot be edited.
To prevent document or annotation modification appropriate security would need to be set via a
tool that supports editing or via some PDF printers.
Sticky Notes
Sticky Note annotations will appear on top of other annotations regardless of z-order.
Line Width
The maximum line width of native annotations is 12pt and will be limited to this for print output.
Solid Text
If a solid text annotation is set to be semi-transparent the fill background and the text will
become semi-transparent, previous behavior left the text solid and only the fill became
semi-transparent.
Image Stamps
Image stamp annotations will appear underneath any other annotation types regardless of the z-order.
This is due to the fact that they added to the content of the PDF and not as separate native PDF
annotations.
The optimized PDF print does not occur in the following circumstances:
As of IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual Version 5.0.6 the following annotation types are deprecated:
These annotation types will be removed in a future version of the product.
As of IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual Version 5.0.3, the default value for parameter emailRenderer is set to '2' which represents the email module that allows for paginated output. See more details for this module below. As of IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual Version 5.0.6, the ability to switch the email module to the alternative value "1" has been deprecated. The value will be removed as a valid setting for the parameter in a future release.
The email module that produces paginated output is now the default setting for the standalone product. This email module supports the display of EML (MIME RFC 822) and MSG (Microsoft Outlook and Exchange) formats as paginated content, and allows for streaming and redaction of emails. It requires the IBM ViewONE Office Module to be licensed. To redact emails, the IBM ViewONE Permanent Redaction module is also required. When opening emails that have annotations saved using the older email rendering mechanism, the HTML parameter 'emailUseAnnotationDefinedModule' defines the behavior.
The 'emailUseAnnotationDefinedModule' parameter can have the following values:
*always: The default behavior is to always attempt to use the renderer that is defined in the annotation.
*never: The renderer that is defined in the annotation is never used. Instead, the email is opened using the renderer specified in the viewer. This may cause the annotations to move. The user will be notified that 'The annotations on this document were saved with a different version of the viewer. Annotation may have moved and will need checking'. The annotation save button will be enabled and user will be prompted to save before they leave the document unless the 'annotationAutoPrompt' HTML parameter has been set. The 'annotationAutoSave' HTML parameter does not work for this annotation change.
*prompt: The user receives a prompt when annotations were created using a different renderer, giving them the option to open using the renderer defined for the viewer (Yes) or attempt to open with the renderer that is specified in the annotation (No). If the user click Yes they will then be notified that 'The annotations on this document were saved with a different version of the viewer. Annotation may have moved and will need checking'. The annotation save button will be enabled and user will be prompted to save before they leave the document, unless the 'annotationAutoPrompt' HTML parameter has been set. The 'annotationAutoSave' HTML parameter does not work for this annotation change.
The document will be built with the source document as it is saved in the repository. The document is also built by using the annotations that are saved in the repository, unless annotations have been edited. The following scenarios explain the effects of this behavior:
Result: The document currently displayed in the viewer differs from the newly built document in the system. To prevent this issue occurring, the master document should be locked or checked out when it is retrieved for document builder.
Note Versioned documents will not be affected by this issue. This will only affect situations where the document that a URL refers to has changed.
Result: The document currently displayed in the viewer differs from the newly built document in the system. To prevent this issue occurring, the master document should be locked or checked out when it is retrieved for document builder.
When in document builder mode, the option to restore annotations is not supported. The following scenario explains the effects of this behavior:
Scenario 1:
Result: The user cannot reload the annotations from the server. Newly created annotations and edited annotation edits remain.
To restore any newly created annotations, the user must take the following steps:
When running Daeja ViewONE 5.0.11 as a component inside IBM Content Navigator, the minimum supported version of ICN is 3.0.12, unless stated otherwise by the specific ICN release.

IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual is designed to support as many file types as possible. However, the product is not able to render every type of file with the same accuracy as native applications, such as Microsoft Word. The flexibility of the viewer can lead to differences in the way that the documents are displayed between the native application and the viewer. The severity of the differences varies depending on the complexity of the file type. In particular, PDF files and Microsoft Office files are difficult to render with complete accuracy in a universal viewer.
For additional information on IE/Edge limitations, refer to the following tech notes:
Excel spreadsheet load times are impacted based on the size and complexity of the Excel document. In order to improve load times, IBM Daeja ViewONE does support tuning capabilities, such as breaking up the Excel document presentation into multiple pages. Please be aware, as this behavior may not be optimal for your end user viewing experience.
After a document is permanently redacted and the user selects Download, they are
normally prompted to save the document with a file name based on the original
un-redacted document. For instance, mypresentation.ppt will default to
mypresentation.tif. In this version the user might be prompted with a filename
such as 41f96b20b97f431ebd4efd85245f1f72.tif instead. The user can still

If a pageN document is open in the viewer, the user cannot switch to document builder mode. The user remains in the edit mode in which the document was opened. The following scenario explains the effects of this behavior:
Scenario 1:
Result: This switch is not permitted and the user will stay in their current mode.
To enter document builder mode, the user must close the pageN document and then switch to document builder mode.
DocN documents are not supported in conjunction with document builder mode. The combination of these features may result in unusual and/or unexpected behavior.
Document builder is able to support TIFF and PDF files with the exception of email attachments. TIFF and PDF files that are attached to emails cannot be used as source files for a new document.
PDF files with access control flags set by the owner of the document cannot be used as a source document for document building where they require a password to view the document or where the owner has indicated that the content may not be copied.
Annotations that have the semi-transparent property set to true, the transparent property set to true and a fill color set can appear to blend the line and fill colors near the edges.
Annotations that have the transparent property set to true and a fill color set to black are not printed transparent for non PDF documents. When printing PDF documents, with 'Print Original Size' selected, these annotations are printed with transparency applied.
UI mirroring is not supported for the bidi languages, Arabic and Hebrew.
