The settings under Viewer Options determine how a file of the selected file format is opened and displayed when opened from OnBase clients.
Changes to the file format's page are not saved until you click Save.
The Viewer Type setting controls which file viewer is used to display files of the selected file format. For information on which viewer types are used for standard file types, see Standard File Formats.
If PCL Self-Contained is selected from the Viewer Type drop-down menu, the PCL Best Fit option is displayed. The PCL Best Fit option corrects text positioning when viewing PCL 2 code in the PCL viewer when selected.
If Custom is selected from the Viewer Type drop-down menu, the Custom Viewer Command Line field is displayed. The Custom Viewer Command Line is also displayed if Spicer Document is selected from the Viewer Type drop-down menu and the View Externally option is selected.
The Custom Viewer Command Line field holds the file path that is used to access files of the selected format. The command line string is determined by static text and symbols, representing specific information about the path. The symbols can be distinguished from static text by the % before the each symbol. The Command Line Tokens section displays the available variable tokens. To add tokens to the Custom Viewer Command Line field, click inside the field and type the symbol or click the symbol's button in the Command Line Tokens section.
The following variables are available for use with the command line string:

The Web Client does not use the command line feature for custom file formats. To use a custom file format in the Web Client, the file format must be set to automatically launch an executable in Windows on the client computer. See Windows documentation on how to configure this.
