Accusoft Cloud Services Viewer Libraries - PHP

This is a library to easily integrate the ACS Viewer into any webpage using PHP.

ACS Viewer is a document viewer that enables you to display hundreds of different kinds of files on your website without worrying about whether your visitors have the software to view them and without installing any additional hardware or software. The document files stay on your server, so you can update, edit and change them anytime. Prizm Viewer supports more than 300 file types, including DOC, PDF, PPT, XLS and CAD.

The PHP Library

Initializing the viewer

include('ACSViewer.php');

$viewer = new ACSViewer(array(
  'key' => 'K2092014193734',
  'document' => 'http://images.accusoft.com/documents/prizm-cloud_slides.pdf',
  'toolbarColor' => '000000',
  'printButton' => 'yes'
));

getDocumentText()

The getDocumentText() function makes a call to the api to extract the plain text directly from the document you specify. Displaying this on your page can make content easier to read, makes it more accessible, and can help boost your page's SEO.

echo $viewer->getDocumentText(); // the plain document text pulled from the file

getContent()

The getContent() function returns the viewer itself with all the parameters you defined when initializing the viewer.

echo $viewer->getContent(); // the viewer with the defined parameters
