How to use the browser’s PDF reader

Open Bee™ Portal includes a PDF reader that allows you to view documents from the web interface. This player allows us to provide a unified user experience across all browsers and control print and download permissions on documents. However, it is possible to change it to use the browser’s PDF reader.

If you no longer use the Open Bee™ Portal PDF reader, the following functions will no longer work:

– Print documents from the menu on the document and print more generally
– Management of print and download permissions

This configuration has been available since version 6.5.2 of Open Bee™ Portal
