The IDM Viewer application has intrinsic support for FileNet proprietary formats and for some industry-standard formats such as TIFF and JPG files. When you display a document or file, the Viewer first tries to display it using its intrinsic capabilities. If the Viewer does not recognize the file type, it then tries to display the file using the Outside In capabilities. PDF files are an exception. PDF files are displayed in-place in the Viewer by Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat Exchange, if either Adobe application is installed on your PC, and by Outside In otherwise. Likewise, the Viewer will use any installed browser plug-in, such as a media player for an .avi file, before attempting to use Outside In to display or play the file.
Formats are rendered as shown in the table. V = IDM Viewer, O = Outside In, A = Acrobat, B = Browser.
