Review documents in the Image viewer
Documents associated with a case are often available only in paper form. To make paper documents available in the application, a scanning agency scans the documents, and then saves them in an electronic format, such as tagged image file format (.tiff) or portable document format (PDF). You view these image and PDF files in the Image viewer in the View pane.
You also add highlight and redaction annotations to image and PDF files in the Image viewer. For information about how to add annotations to documents, see Highlight and redact documents.
In the Image viewer, you can perform the following tasks:
View, navigate, and annotate document pages
Highlight documents with different colors
Redact documents
Search for text to highlight or redact
Convert highlights to redactions, and convert redactions to highlights
Add notes to specific document pages
Save pages that are relevant to a case in PDF format, which you can print in hard copy
View native files as pages
Watch video files and listen to audio files
The permissions set by your administrator determine access to this feature.

To view image and PDF documents in the Image viewer:
Select a document.
In the View pane, click the Image viewer button.
The first page of the document appears.
Note: If a page is not a PDF or image file, and the Office Online viewer is enabled, the application converts some file types to PDF and displays them in the Image viewer using Microsoft Office Online. Otherwise, the application prompts you to download the file.

To change the page magnification, click the Zoom in or Zoom out buttons.
To move the position of the page, click the Pan button, and then drag the page to the location that you want to view.
