ECL Viewer Redlining does not work in cFolders for PDF

Question

Hi,
I am using cFolders 4.5 with ECL viewer 6.0 patch level 4. Redlining functionality works for AutoCAD and graphics files such as JPG. However, when I try to use the redlining functionality on a PDF I get the message "This feature is currently not supported. Please contact your cFolders system administrator. The ECL viewer will shut down".
Any ideas on why this is happening. Is there anything specific I need to do to enable redlining for PDF files on cFolders.
Thanks,
Lashan

Hi Lashan,
This can be only realized in form of a modification.
To get the functionality, you have to change the code of BSP page
'doc_de_redline.htm'. You can find this information at transaction SE80
> BSP application 'CFX_RFC_UI' > Pages with Flow Logic
Switch to Layout:
<! object width="800px" height="500px" classid="clsid:E5B45843-BBE0-11D4-A7A4-0060087A7901" alt="Please wait....." >

Add at the comment the following line:
<PARAM name="PDFSUPPORT" value="1"></PARAM>
Regarding redlining of pdf files:
Please create a file" EAI Viewer.xml " and place the below xml code in the file. save it.
Code is as follows:

please upload this to your WebDAV (replace the old one and save this under a different name as
backup). The way to access WebDAV is explained in the cFolders configuration guide, chapter 'Creating the Settings URL for WebDAV Access' (the guide is attached to note 973764).
I hope that this information help you to solve the issue.
Thanks and Regards
