8. Silent Installation

DocuWorks Viewer Light can be installed silently. In a silent installation, installation is completed without Install Wizard being displayed and without the user performing any operation. Silent install is useful when batch-installing DocuWorks Viewer Light on many PCs.
During silent installation, the system uses defaults for the settings such as the destination folder, and whether to use DocuWorks Viewer Light Control. These default settings can also be customized by using the method described in "9. Customizing Installation".

8-1. How to Perform a Silent Installation

There are two ways of executing a silent installation.

- By using the "Setup.exe" command appended with the /s option
- By editing the "dwvlt.ini" file and executing "Setup.exe"

8-2. Executing Silent Installation Using the "Setup.exe" Command Appended with the "/s" Option

Execute "Setup.exe /s" at the command prompt or in a batch file.

8-3. Programming Silent Installation Settings to the "dwvlt.ini" File

You can create a text file named "dwvlt.ini" that describes the silent installation settings, and save this file in the folder in which "Setup.exe" is stored, and then execute "Setup.exe".

1. Open the "dwvlt.ini" file with a text editor, and add the following sections:
   [Install]
   SilentInstall=Y
   Important
   You need to choose Unicode as character encoding to create the "dwvlt.ini" file. When editing the file, be sure to use an application which is capable to save the file with Unicode encoding.
2. Save the changes made to the "dwvlt.ini" file, and execute "Setup.exe".

8-4. License Agreement After Silent Installation Is Performed

When a silent installation has been performed, the license agreement is displayed when DocuWorks Viewer Light is started up for the first time.

To top

9. Customizing Installation

You can customize the settings such as the destination folder, and whether to use DocuWorks Viewer Light Control. Customized settings can be applied to both regular installation and silent installation.

9-1. Creating a Customized Installation Setup File

You can create a text file named "dwvlt.ini" that describes the installation settings, and save this file in the folder in which "Setup.exe" is stored. The program will be installed according to the settings described in this file.
If you want to place the setup file for customized installation in a different folder than the one where "Setup.exe" is stored, execute the "Setup.exe" command with the /o option to specify the full path to the setup file for customized installation.
Setup.exe /o "full path to the setup file for customized installation"

9-2. Format of Customized Installation Setup File

The format of this file is the same as that for a regular Windows ini file. Program keys and values on the same line joined by "= (symbol)".

- Documents signed by Electronic Signature can be verified with signatures only if DocuWorks is installed. (14887)

12-3. About Byte-serving Function

When a DocuWorks file on the website contains many pages, it may take a long time to download and display the entire file. Use of the byte-serving function will reduce the display time by downloading only pages required for display if the file size is larger than specified.

12-3-1. Operations Affected by Byte-serving

When the byte-serving function is activated, partial download is performed to display a DocuWorks file, to navigate pages, to display link destinations, to print the file, and to save the file.

12-3-2. Requirements for Byte-serving

- Files must be Ver. 2 or later to be displayed.
- The Web server must support the byte-serving function and the function must be activated on the server. The following servers are compatible:
  - Apache 2.4.54
  - Microsoft Internet Information Services 10
- To display a DocuWorks file on the system that runs on a Web server and uses CGI, the system must support the byte-serving function and operate to return the URL of the DocuWorks file.

12-4. About Support for ActiveX Controls

DocuWorks Viewer Light Control supports ActiveX controls. You can view and print DocuWorks files with ActiveX controls containers.
The control name of DocuWorks Viewer Light Control is [DocuWorks Viewer Light Control].
For details, refer to "DocuWorks Development Tool Kit 10 DocuWorks Viewer Control / DocuWorks Viewer Light Control Interface Specification".

12-5. Displaying DocuWorks files Embedded in HTML

Use the following tag to embed DocuWorks files into HTML.
<EMBED Attribute="Value"></EMBED>
The attribute and value must be specified as follows.

Attribute | Value
--- | ---
SRC | Name of DocuWorks file to embed
WIDTH | Width of the DocuWorks file, in pixels (If omitted, depends on browser)
HEIGHT | Height of the DocuWorks file, in pixels (If omitted, depends on browser)
PAGE | Pages of the DocuWorks file (If omitted, page 1)
SHEAF | Name of the document in the binder (If omitted, none)

- SRC must be specified.
- You can specify multiple attributes by entering a space to between them.
- The zoom rate of the display (or the print result) of the DocuWorks file is automatically decided by the specified width and height. It is displayed (or printed) by the specified width or height fitting to center of the window (or paper).
- The zoom rate available is between 10% and 1600%. If you specify a rate beyond this limit, an X mark is displayed (or printed) in the window (or paper) and the DocuWorks file is not displayed (or printed).
- If you specify a zoom rate near 10% and even if the DocuWorks file is displayed, only an X mark may be printed on the paper if the rate for printing falls below 10%. The same thing happens for specifying a zoom rate near 1600%.
- For PAGE, if you specify a page number which does not exist, the last page of the DocuWorks file is displayed.
- You can specify a page of the internal document by using SHEAF. If the specified internal document does not exist, the action will be the same as specifying sheaf="internal document name" in the URL.
- According to the specified width and height, the zoom ratio calculated may have slight error. In that case, the DocuWorks file may not fit to the width or height of the window.
- Tags other than the above one will not affect display of DocuWorks files.

For example, the following tag embeds the SAMPLE.XDW file into HTML.
<EMBED SRC="sample.xdw" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="300"></EMBED>
If WIDTH is between 65 and 2488 pixels, and HEIGHT is between 90 and 3518 pixels, then embedded file (A4, Portrait) will be displayed correctly. If the % parameter can be used to specify WIDTH and HEIGHT, then the document size will be adjusted to the size of the window when displayed, or size of the paper when printed.

12-6. Setting Up Web Server

12-6-1. Notes for Server Administrators Newly Publishing DocuWorks files to the Web

To top

13. Notes and Restrictions

The following explains notes and restrictions for operating DocuWorks Viewer Light and DocuWorks Viewer Light Control. The system errors in this documentation refer to any application errors and faults that cause the windows to close and Microsoft Windows to forcibly shut down.

13-1. Operation

13-1-1. DocuWorks Viewer Light

- Depending on the application, the printing may be processed in different order from the displayed text order. Because the text information within the DocuWorks document converted from those applications is held in a different order from the displayed text order, the search result may not be in the displayed order. (5572)
- Depending on the settings of applications or fonts, characters may be printed as images. If this happens, the converted DocuWorks documents hold no text information and cannot be searched using text search. (6537)
- When you install DocuWorks Viewer Light 8 in an environment where one of the DocuWorks versions 6.0 to 7.x is installed, module names displayed in the [Security Module Options] dialog box of Desk and Viewer are changed as follows, and the display order is also changed.
  - "Password (V4 compatible)" → "Password (56bit V4 or later)"
  - "Password (128bit V4 non-compatible)" → "Password (128bit V5 or later)"

13-1-2. DocuWorks Viewer Light Control

- When displaying a DocuWorks file on a browser, on which a link annotation has been pasted in DocuWorks Viewer Light Control, if a local path or UNC path is used to specify the link file location under [File] in the [DocuWorks File Settings] dialog box, you may not be able to display the file properly, or may not be able to specify the page number or the document within a binder, depending on the browser in use. (4167, 11545, 13658)
- Depending on the application, the printing may be processed in the different order from the displayed text order. Because the text information within the DocuWorks document converted from those applications is held in a different order from the displayed text order, the search result may not be in the displayed order. (5572)
- Depending on the settings of applications or fonts, characters may be printed as images. If this happens, the converted DocuWorks documents hold no text information and so cannot be searched using text search. (6537)
- The byte-serving feature may not function when displaying DocuWorks files from a client on the Web server in DocuWorks Viewer Light Control. This is because DocuWorks Viewer Light Control adds the current time to the header information to communicate with the Web server. You can avoid this problem by setting the time of the Web server side later than that of the client side. (7233)
- If a transparent annotation is layered over signatures, you cannot verify the signatures or other manipulations on the layered portion. (11172)
- In Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge (except for Internet Explorer mode), after you move from a tab on which a DocuWorks file is displayed to another page, you may not be able to go back to the previously displayed page even if you click the web browser's [Go back] and [Go forward] button.
- When you open a DocuWorks file in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge (except for Internet Explorer mode), the default file name displayed in the file saving dialog box at the time you run [Save a Copy] may differ from the file name on the web site.
- When [Site access] is set to [On click] under the Google Chrome's Extensions settings, or when [Site access] is set to [On click] under the Microsoft Edge's Extensions settings (excluding Internet Explorer mode), even if you attempt to open a DocuWorks file after clicking the extension icon, the extension feature does not work, and the DocuWorks file is downloaded.

13-2. Viewing and Printing

13-2-1. DocuWorks Viewer Light

- In some applications, it may be difficult to see the color difference in printout than that in the data being viewed on the screen. If you convert this type of data to a DocuWorks file, the color in the file may appear different from the original data. (46)
- When you convert some application data to a DocuWorks file, patterns in the data may appear to be "filled" when viewed on the screen. However, this problem will not happen when you print the file. (51)
- Patterns in the DocuWorks files created from some applications may not be displayed correctly. However, this problem will not happen when you print the file. (65)
- If an application file contains hatch patterns, when you convert it to DocuWorks file, it may appear different from the original data when viewed in its application. However, this problem will not happen when you print the DocuWorks file. (174)

13-3. Printer Driver Settings

13-3-1. DocuWorks Viewer Light

- For a DocuWorks document created from application data, be sure to set the print resolution of the file to that used in conversion. Otherwise, the print result of the DocuWorks file may differ from that of the application data. (623)
- If DocuWorks files are printed with the ESC/Page Printer (manufactured by EPSON) on which [EMF] is set as the spool data format, the Windows system may not be able to operate after printing is completed. In this case, set the spool data format to [RAW] or set to disable spooling. (1881)
- Depending on the printer driver in use, DocuWorks files created from large bitmaps may not be printed correctly. For example, a PostScript® printer cannot correctly print DocuWorks files created from A2-3010dpi equivalent (4960 x 7015 dots) or A3-600dpi equivalent (7015 x 9921 dots) monochrome bitmaps. In this case, be sure to decrease the printer driver's resolution. (2182)
- When printed from Microsoft Edge or a store app to DocuWorks Printer, texts are converted to diagrams in the DocuWorks document. In this case, the text in the DocuWorks document cannot be selected and the size of the DocuWorks document might be large. (24246)

13-4. Memory and Performance

13-4-1. DocuWorks Viewer Light

- When there is not sufficient memory, image of the DocuWorks file page may not appear and you will see an "X" in the page. To solve this problem, reduce the zoom ratio, or close other running applications and then restart DocuWorks Viewer Light. (21)
- When you print a DocuWorks files created from complex data (pattern fill, gradation, heavy use of bitmap, etc.) to a PostScript® printer, the PostScript® data may become bigger in size. This may result in longer printing time of the original data or the print's capacity may be exceeded. (2030)

13-4-2. DocuWorks Viewer Light Control

- The number of DocuWorks files that can be displayed in embedded view in a page depends on the memory and disk space of the client machine. Therefore, be careful with the resources when viewing pages with many embedded DocuWorks files. (2290)
- It may be failed to certify digital signature on a file with more than hundreds MB depending on the size of the memory region which your computer can allocate. (12535)

13-5. Byte-serving for DocuWorks Viewer Light Control

- When using a byte-serving function to display a DocuWorks file that is located on a Web server, depending on the Proxy server in use, an error message “The file is not a DocuWorks document file.” may appear on the screen to prevent you from displaying the file. In this case, display the file without byte-serving. (13754)

14. DocuWorks Content Filter 10

DocuWorks Content Filter 10 is software that is compatible with the Windows Search Service interface (IFilter) in Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Windows 11.
This filter is called by document search software when it creates search indexes. It extracts from DocuWorks files full-text information and document properties which document search software requires.
Installing DocuWorks Viewer Light 10 also installs DocuWorks Content Filter 10. This will make DocuWorks files searchable by Windows Search Service.

14-1. Supported Document Search Software

The following document search software tools are supported:

- Windows Search Service

14-2 How and What It Extracts

14-2-1. Supported DocuWorks Files

- DocuWorks documents
- DocuWorks binders
- DocuWorks containers

DocuWorks Content Filter supports DocuWorks 10 or earlier DocuWorks files.
It can handle protected documents if those are in the following conditions. Copying permission is required in all the cases.

- Password-protected DocuWorks files for which no password to open is assigned
- Password-protected DocuWorks files for which password to open is stored temporarily.
- Signature-protected DocuWorks files for which Signature Case is open and no user intervention is required to open it
- DocuWorks files that are protected by Context Service and are allowed to log in to the context server.

14-2-2. Content To Be Extracted

DocuWorks Content Filter can extract the following information and document properties from a DocuWorks file.

Extracted Item | Description
--- | ---
Content [Contents] | - Body text - OCR (optical character recognition) resulting text - Text from text annotations (This includes text on notepad annotations)
Document name [DocTitle] | Document title set in [Document Properties]
Subject [DocSubject] | Document subject set in [Document Properties]
Author [DocAuthor] Author | Author set in [Document Properties]
Keyword [DocKeywords] | Keywords set in [Document Properties]
Comment [DocComments] | Comment text set in [Document Properties]
User defined attributes | User defined attributes set in [Document Properties]
Application name [DocAppName] | Application name. This is always [DocuWorks].

* Text surrounded by parentheses indicates the corresponding property name, which is described in Help for Windows Search Service. However, you can use any property names for the user defined attributes.

14-2-3. Extraction Method

DocuWorks Content Filter extracts data from DocuWorks files by using the following mechanism.
The order in which text is extracted
As for "Content", it first extracts body text (alternatively, OCR resulting text), and then text annotations. More specifically, it extracts body text from the first page through to the last page, and then go back to the first page to begin extracting text annotations.
The position of line breaks
Line break character is inserted between body text (alternatively, OCR resulting text) and text annotation, and between text annotations
Line break character is also inserted at the end of the last text annotation.

14-3. Notes and Restrictions

- Proper operation of DocuWorks Content Filter is not guaranteed if you uninstall DocuWorks or modules related to DocuWorks after DocuWorks Content Filter has been installed. In this case, you must install DocuWorks Content Filter again to re-register the missing registry keys.
- If you allow Windows Search Service to index a DocuWorks file with the file open, the process will not complete. In this case, close the opened document to complete the process. For more information, see the online reference supplied with Windows Search Service. (3396)
- When using DocuWorks Content Filter for DocuWorks documents containing OCR (optical character recognition) resulting text, the accuracy of the extracted text information depends on the OCR process results.
- In the environment where DocuWorks Content Filter is installed together with DocuWorks or DocuWorks Viewer Light, protected files for which copying permission is assigned and password to open is stored temporarily, may be included in searching.
- If Windows Search Service has failed in indexing DocuWorks files due to password to open assigned, no index is displayed under [Unfiltered Docs] in Windows Search Service. (5217)
- Some applications process data for printing in the order that is different from the order of the character sequence appearing on the display.
  Thus, internal text information in documents converted by such an application is retained in the different order from that appearing on the display, and therefore, the resulted order of text information derived from DocuWorks Content Filter can be different from that of the display. (5572)
- Depending on the application type or the font settings, characters are handled as images during print processing. In this case, there is no text information in the converted DocuWorks documents any more, and therefore those documents will never be searched for. (6537)
- For a document containing a huge number of characters (for example, one million of characters or more), the system cannot registered data to be used for searching for the document. This may cause the document not to be searched for by Windows Search Service. (13243)
- Any pages, derived from OCR processing of the Chinese version of DocuWorks 5.x, cannot be searched for by Windows Search Service.
