When this flag is set to false, Process Director will disable Collaborative Document Markup. The default value for this variable is true.

Example

public override void SetSystemVars(BPLogix.WorkflowDirector.SDK.bp bp)
{
    //Disable Collaborative Document Annotation
    bp.Vars.fEnableFDFAnnotations = false;
}

This variable enables you to specify which file extensions should use the Collaborative Document Markup (CDM )feature when using the EDIT link. This feature will enable you to use the Collaborative Document Markup tool for editing specific document types, while retaining the Collaborative Document Authoring (CDA) feature for editing all other document types. For instance, you may wish to specify the CDM tool for editing PowerPoint presentations, as in the example below, while still retaining the use of CDA for editing Word and Excel Documents.

Specifying the use of CDM for editing means that the only editing allowed will be adding annotations, unlike the CDA tool, which enables editing the original document content.

This variable isn't relevant for installations that aren't licensed with the Collaborative Document features.

Example

public override void SetSystemVars(BPLogix.WorkflowDirector.SDK.bp bp)
{
    // Specifies the use of CDM to mark up PowerPoint presentations
    bp.Vars.FileExtensionsUseCDMForEdit = "ppt, pptx";
}

This variable enables you to specify which file extensions should use the default checkout and edit feature, rather than the Collaborative Document Authoring (CDA) feature. File extensions listed in this variable will force the default check out and edit functionality when clicking the EDIT link for attachments.

This variable isn't relevant for installations that aren't licensed with the Collaborative Document features.

Example

public override void SetSystemVars(BPLogix.WorkflowDirector.SDK.bp bp)
{
    // Forces use of the default check out feature for
    // PowerPoint presentations, and not use CDA
    bp.Vars.FileExtensionsUseCheckOutForEdit = "xls, xlsx";
}

This flag specifies the autosave options available for annotations created when using Collaborative Document Markup. The following settings are available:

• PDFAnnotationSaveOptions.Manual
• PDFAnnotationSaveOptions.EveryMinute
• PDFAnnotationSaveOptions.EveryFiveMinutes
• PDFAnnotationSaveOptions.EveryTenMinutes

The default value for this variable is PDFAnnotationSaveOptions.Manual, which means that annotations must be manually saved before closing an annotated document, and the system won't perform autosaves.

Example

public override void SetSystemVars(BPLogix.WorkflowDirector.SDK.bp bp)
{
    //Autosave Collaborative Document Annotations every five minutes
    bp.Vars.PDFAnnotionSaveInterval = PDFAnnotationSaveOptions.EveryFiveMinutes;
}

Annotation Toolbar Variables #

Installations that are licensed with the Collaborative Document Markup feature have access to a series of Custom Variables that can be set in the Custom Variables file. The Custom Variables in this section specify an annotation tool for which you wish to set the available properties.

The following properties are available for each Variable.

PROPERTY NAME	DESCRIPTION
Position	This numeric Double property is sets the 1-based numeric position of a tool on the annotation toolbar. If multiple buttons have been set to the same position (e.g., 5) there is no guarantee of the order in which the buttons will appear on the toolbar. To address that, if a user wants a button to display to the right of the button currently in position 5, they can set the position of the button they are moving to 5.1 (or any number from 5.1, 5.2, 5.3…).
Visible	This Boolean property is used to show or hide the annotation tool specified by the variable. When this property is set to false, the tool button won't be displayed in the interface. The default value for this variable is true. If the Visible property is set to false, the Position property become irrelevant, as the tool won't display.

All of the properties must be set in the PresetSystemVars() method of the Custom Variable file.
