MSOW PHP Workstation Configuration Guide 2Integrated PDF HandlerAs of MSOW version 2.4.0 a new Integrated PDF Handler was added to resolve most incompatibility problemsaffecting practitioners, admin reviewers, and others users having broad variation in the type of computer andversion of Adobe being used.This major new feature displays and handles submission of PDF forms without requiring the Adobe viewer.Technically this is accomplished by converting it to an image with overlaid HTML form components. Itsupports standard MSOW PDF capabilities including all types of fields and embedded JavaScript.Now, virtually any popular modern browser on PC or Mac may work with MSOW forms.This new PDF viewer is used automatically if the client’s browser is Internet Explorer 9 or above, Chrome orSafari. IE versions before 9 (and 9 if in “compatibility mode”) will still use the Adobe viewer.This operation is transparent to the user and requires no special setup.Example form viewing in Chromeusing the new Integrated PDFhandler:Example form viewing in Adobeusing Internet Explorer:Users of Safari before 5.0, Firefox, Netscape, AOL, Opera, or other unusual environments such as Linux or VMWare maystill encounter problems, and should instead use a workstation equipped with supported software meeting therequirements described above. Users of MSOW before version 2.4.0 can find older information on use of Adobe withSafari in the prior version workstation guide online here.NOTE: The next lengthy section here on Adobe Reader settings now only applies to users of IE before 9.Copyright, 2012 Morrisey Associates, Inc., Chicago IL All Rights Reserved
