You must have IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.4 installed.
Before you install IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.4 iFix 9:
IBM Daeja ViewONE, 5.0.4 iFix 9 is provided as a compressed file containing the files that are needed to update Version 5.0.4 for all supported platforms.
To install this package:
As this package contains all the files required for all platforms, you can remove the files that are included for platforms that are not relevant to your environment. Change to the server/WEB-INF/lib directory under the Daeja ViewONE installation directory and delete the platform specific jars that are not relevant.
There are platform specific jar files:
Make a backup of the Daeja ViewONE 5.0.4 files in the relevant locations in your web application server. For the server files that will be the web application's WEB-INF/lib directory. For the client, it will be where the package client files were copied to. For example v1files directory in the web application.
Note: To upgrade to iFix 9, please ensure that both the client and the server are updated.
If you want to remove the iFix 9 from your installation and revert back to the original 5.0.4 version, you need to replace the files in you installation directories with the backed up files, then copy the files into the correct places in your web application server.
If you use the IBM Daeja ViewONE Version 5.0.4 uninstallation program to remove IBM Daeja ViewONE 5.0.4 and the iFix 9 from your system, then some of the files may be left on your file system and you will need to remove them manually.

IO26597 "FILE NOT FOUND" OR "EMPTY FILE" ERROR REPORTED BY VIEWER FOR ITS OWN DOCSTORE CACHE LOCATION
Users experience intermittent issues loading documents and receive error messages stating; "file not found", or "Empty file".
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
IO26577 LEFT CLICK ON MOUSE BUTTON DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON VIEWER TOOLBARS FOR SOME TOUCHSCREEN LAPTOPS
Performing a left click on the viewer buttons does not have any effect on some laptops that have a touchscreen.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual
ClassNotFoundException during session replication or persistence
The web application server log shows a ClassNotFoundException for ji.streamer.servlet.AjaxClientInfoMonitor. This due to object dependency on object types loaded by a custom class loader. This dependency has been removed.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users of 5.0.4 iFix 4 to 5.0.4 iFix 8
Improve client side performance when scrolling a document
The number of calculations taking place as we scroll a document has been decreased, allowing for a smoother scroll experience. This is most noticeable when scrolling the scroll bar via click-drag.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
Improve PageN performance
When using a large amount of documents for PageN, performance has been improved significantly on inital load and page to page navigation.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
Improve page render performance during page to page scrolling
The number of requests being made as a document is scrolled has been reduced, resulting in an improvement in rendering time once scrolling is stopped.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
The Annotation sticky mode allows the application of a selected annotation multiple times,
without the need to click on the annotation button again.
Sticky annotation mode is enabled either by the annotationsSticky HTML parameter, or
when the user right-clicks on an annotation button. The sticky mode will remain active,
even after a page change, until the user deactivates it by clicking on the active annotation button.
A new option is now available to exit the sticky mode.
During the process of adding multiple annotations of the same kind a user can now end the sticky mode by
right-clicking on any existing annotation. This will end the sticky mode, select the clicked annotation, and
activate the edit tools for that annotation.
Documents that are opened at a specific page number are now scrolled in to the view at their correct scroll location. This means that when in fit to width/height view mode, the page will be scrolled to be at the top of the view.
For online documentation, see the IBM Daeja ViewONE knowledge center.
IO26626 CONTINUOUS SCROLL JS OPENFILE LANDSCAPE AND PORTRAIT DOCUMENT HAVE THE SAME ZOOM LEVEL EVEN THOUGH SCALE IS BEING DEFINED.
When opening a new document, the new document does not calculate Fit To Width correctly.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
EVENT 9 (Page Changed) now states whether the page has already been retrieved.
Event 34, Page Rendered, fires each time a page is retrieved, this can be when a page is displayed
or when a page that has been pre-fetched. This prevents
a user from knowing whether a page they have just changed to, has been displayed or not.
EVENT 9 now contains a JSON payload that contains the page number of the page changed to as well as a flag,
that indicates whether the page has already been retrieved and is available in the DOM. If this flag is true
then the user knows this page has been retrieved and displayed, if the flag is false the user will have to
wait for event 34 to know when the page is displayed.
The JSON payload, contained within event 9, takes the form of the following example:
{"page":10, "isPageInDOM":true}
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
Some PDF documents with large hidden textual content maybe slow to display.
Some PDF documents that contain a large amount of textual data that is hidden from view may take a long time to display.

Grey/blank screens appearing when navigating from doc to doc using doc
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
Page selection updated event (87) optimisation
The page selection updated event (87) now only fires when the selection stops being edited. The page selection updated event (87) contains a JSON payload listing the pages currently selected and whether the pipe is selected. If the pipe is true then any insertions will occur prior to the page number of the selection. For example, if pages 1,3 and 10 are selected in the viewer, event 87 would contain the following JSON; {"selectedPages":[{"page":{"pageNumber":1, "pipe":false}},{"page":{"pageNumber":3, "pipe":false}},{"page":{"pageNumber":10, "pipe":false}}]} I f the pipe before page 1 is selected in the viewer, the event payload would be: {"selectedPages":[{"page":{"pageNumber":1, "pipe":true}}]} If a page was added with this selection, the new page would be number 1, if the pipe was false, it would be page number 2.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
IO26576 PDF FILES WITH TYPE 3 FONTS DO NOT RENDER CORRECTLY
Some PDF documents that contain type 3 fonts render with missing text and the following error message:
'java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Array index out of range: 10 reading type Type3'
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
IO26611 COMPLEX DOCUMENTS CAN CAUSE SERVER SLOW DOWN
When viewing certain complex or large documents a general slowness can be experienced. When this happens an examination of the JVM state shows that there are many threads that appear to be waiting, for example, pool-17-thread-2.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
Page selection updated event fired twice on caret selection
The page selection updated event fires twice when a caret is selected via the setPageSelection API.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
IO26612 SOME PDF DOCUMENTS TAKE A LONG TIME TO DISPLAY AND CAUSES MEMORY ISSUE ON THE SERVER
Some PDF documents that contain erroneous CID font CMAP data may cause an infinte loop, which leads to excessive memory consumption on the server causing OutOfMemoryErrors errors.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
PDF documents that contain very large image masks are slow to display
Some PDF documents that contain very large invalid stencil image masks are slow to display. The delay in displaying is due to the mask (invalid) being applied to every pixel reulting in no change to the original image, for large images the processing may be performed on tens of millions of pixels when it is not needed.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

If this type of document is requested several times the server will become unusable and the application server will need to be restarted.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
IO26455 PAGE NAVIGATION BUTTONS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY DISABLE WHEN RENDERING SOME DOCUMENTS
The page navigation buttons on the top tool bar would gray out intermittently for some documents. The problem is seen more often for bigger files. The problem would likely show when the file is first loaded, but it's intermittent.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
IO26521 NUMBER OF PAGES ON A SECOND LOADED DOCUMENT IS INCORRECT IN INTERNET EXPLORER
Subsequent documents in Internet Explorer can show up blank or missing pages during the same browser session. This issue is due to the response caching policy configured in the browser.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
ER165631 EVENT 37 DOES NOT FIRE ON A SHORTCUT KEYPRESS
When using keyboard shortcuts event 37 was not fired. With this fix users will be able to track shortcut keypresses via the javascript bridge output. This feature allows users to track and extract data from use of the system regarding keypresses. Users can track when keyboard shortcuts are activated and how frequently they are activated. An example of usage could be an office wanting to track usage of the print shortcut to be audited and reported on. This event output will allow users to dynamically configure the viewer to operate under a set of key presses.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
ER165631 MISSING KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS FOR NAVIGATING ON A ZOOMED PAGE
There is missing functionality with shortcuts to navigate around on a zoomed page.
This functionality was missing because the viewer does not use scrollbars
for each part of the page unless you are zoomed in to an extent that the browser
generates them for the user. The missing shortcuts were
to navigate to the top, bottom, left, right and middle of a page either vertically or
horizontally. Below are the newly added keyboard shortcuts:
Go to top of current page: CTRL + HOME
Go to end of current page: CTRL + END
Go to far left of current page: SHIFT + HOME
Go to far right of current page: SHIFT + END
Go to vertical center of current page: CTRL + SHIFT + HOME
Go to horizontal center of current page: CTRL + SHIFT + END
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
PRINT RANGE AVAILABLE VIA KEYBOARD SHORTCUT

UNABLE TO CHANGE PRINT OPTIONS WHEN USING PRINT KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS
When the print is activated using the shortcut keys 'P' or 'SHIFT+P', none of the options on the Print Dialog are enabled.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
Memory usage on the server increased
The document expiry time for server side document rendering is configured using the wrong parameter name and default value. The default value should be 120 seconds, but was modified to be 30 minutes. This could potentially cause memory issues for some users due to the document being retained in memory for the longer period than is necessary. The ability to customise the value is also compromised as the name used to retrieve a custom value is incorrect.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users of release 5.0.4 iFix 4 only
IO26074 ANNOTATION SAVE BUTTON IS NOT CORRECTLY ENABLED ON TEXT ANNOTATION CREATION WHEN ANNOTATIONS ARE ALREADY PRESENT ON THE DOCUMENT
If a text annotation is added to a document, the annotation save button should be enabled as soon as the first text character has been entered into the annotation bounding box. However, if there are already annotations present on the document, the behavior changes and depending on the value of the HTML parameter allowTextRubberband you will see that the save button either gets enabled directly before any text has been entered or does not get enabled until you complete text entry and click on the document away from the annotation.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
ANNOTATION TOOLBAR DISABLED AFTER PASTE TO EMPTY DOCUMENT
The annotation toolbar may not become enabled when pasting a page in to an empty document. This occurs in Document Builder mode with the HTML parameter 'annotateEdit' set to true.

*Page selection updated event (87) now contains pages selected in a JSON payload. *
The page selection updated event (87) now contains a JSON payload listing the pages currently selected and whether
the pipe is selected. If the pipe is true then any insertions will occur prior to the page number of the selection.
For example, if pages 1,3 and 10 are selected in the viewer, event 87 would contain the following JSON;
{"selectedPages":[{"page":{"pageNumber":1, "pipe":false}},{"page":{"pageNumber":3, "pipe":false}},{"page":{"pageNumber":10, "pipe":false}}]}
If the pipe before page 1 is selected in the viewer, the event payload would be;
{"selectedPages":[{"page":{"pageNumber":1, "pipe":true}}]}
If a page was added with this selection, the new page would be number 1, if the pipe was false, it would be page number 2.

Any restrictions and/or limitations of the base or fix pack release and any subsequent ifixes, still apply to this release unless stated otherwise.
IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual is designed to support as many file types as possible. However, the product is not able to render every type of file with the same accuracy as native applications, such as Microsoft Word. The flexibility of the viewer can lead to differences in the way that the documents are displayed between the native application and the viewer. The severity of the differences varies depending on the complexity of the file type. In particular, PDF files and Microsoft Office files are difficult to render with complete accuracy in a universal viewer.
Excel spreadsheet load times are impacted based on the size and complexity of the Excel document. In order to improve load times, IBM Daeja ViewONE does support tuning capabilities, such as breaking up the Excel document presentation into multiple pages. Please be aware, as this behaviour may not be optimal for your end user viewing experience.
After a document is permenantly redacted and the user selects Download, they are
normally prompted to save the document with a file name based on the original
un-redacted document. For instance mypresentation.ppt will default to
mypresentation.tif. In this version the user might be prompted with a filename
such as 41f96b20b97f431ebd4efd85245f1f72.tif instead. The user can still
change the name to something more meaningful.
If a pageN document is open in the viewer, the user cannot switch to document builder mode. The user remains in the edit mode in which the document was opened. The following scenario explains the effects of this behavior:
Scenario 1:
Result: This switch is not permitted and the user will stay in their current mode.
To enter document builder mode, the user must close the pageN document and then switch to document builder mode.
DocN documents are not supported in conjunction with document builder mode. The combination of these features may result in unusual and/or unexpected behavior.
Document builder is able to support TIFF and PDF files with the exception of email attachments. TIFF and PDF files that are attached to emails cannot be used as source files for a new document.
PDF files with access control flags set by the owner of the document cannot be used as a source document for document building where they require a password to view the document or where the owner has indicated that the content may not be copied.
Annotations that have the semi-transparent property set to true, the transparent property set to true and a fill color set can appear to blend the line and fill colors near the edges.
Annotations that have the transparent property set to true and a fill color set to black are not printed transparent .
