StreamServe External Viewer output connector

This connector sends output to a Previewer. The Previewer reads the file extension and opens the output file in the corresponding application (*.pdf in Acrobat Reader, etc.). The Previewer recognizes the following formats: pdf, ps, tif, dcx, html, xml, pcl. It tries to open other formats as *.txt.

See About Previewer for more information about Previewer.
