Feature Availability

This release provides a more robust set of functionality within the HTML5 version of the Brava Viewer, eliminating most of the notable differences between HTML5 and ActiveX. You can now perform most of the same high-level functions using either version of the Viewer. In addition, HTML5 provides the added benefit of being installation-free, making it faster to set up and use.

The table below lists the availability of the main Viewer features within each version. Features in red are new in HTML5 for this release. For a summary of the differences between features (including the availability of specific markup tools), see Primary Differences Between HTML5 and ActiveX.
