Viewing documents | VDRPro

  • Updated

Product: VDRPro
Applies to: Everyone
 

You can open the following document types directly in your browser if they are not protected with IRM (Information Rights Management):

  • PDF
  • Microsoft Office formats
  • Graphic files - PNG, JPG, BMP, WMF, EMF, GIF, JP2, and JPC
  • Video files - MP4, OGG, and WEBM
  • CAD files - DWG, DWF, DXF, and DGN

    CAD files are converted to PDF format when rendered, which means that animations in three dimensional files cannot be accessed.

  • ODT and ODS
  • ODP

Documents that have third-party password protection (not Intralinks IRM protection) can be opened in the online viewer. You will be prompted to enter your user name and password.

IRM-protected documents and documents in other formats must be downloaded before you open them. Depending upon the security settings applied, you may be required to enter your email address and password to open these documents.

If the managers of your VDR require you to use Intralinks VDRPro’s Secure Viewer, see Viewing PDF and Microsoft Office documents using the Secure Viewer instead.

Your access to documents is controlled by the VDR's managers, and they have the ability to change document access at any time. If you have problems accessing a document or a document is no longer available to you, contact a VDR manager. Depending upon the security settings for individual documents, you may be able print them, as well as view them.

Depending upon the VDR manager’s preferences, you may receive email alerts when new documents are available for you to read. You can click a link in the alert to display the document, or you can view all of the documents that are available to you by logging into Intralinks VDRPro and displaying the Documents List.
