Atalasoft Image Viewer with Silverlight in SharePoint
June 3, 2012SharePoint,Silverlight
I was working on a Silverlight-based BI Dashboard in SharePoint for Pfizer. Pfizer allows the consumers of its animal products to upload receipts and Proof of Purchases in order to qualify for rebates. The business required the ability for Silverlight to process an array of image types, including PDFs, that the consumer may upload. Processing included not only viewing the image, but also zoom, crop and rotate.
Since Silverlight can only process JPGs or PNGs natively, I needed a third-party provider to satisfy the business requirements. There are many libraries that render different image formats and PDFs, but I needed a single solution to handle as many formats, again, including PDFs, as possible and accomplish the image manipulation requirements. Therefore, we decided on Atalasoft DotImage.
