Chrome is launched automatically when display is required — e.g. after preparation processing following "Execute" in the document list window, or after selecting a history entry in the restore window.
When Chrome itself is updated, PDO may automatically update the Chrome Driver. This can take around 10 seconds, so please wait until it finishes.
2. Patent Documents
The corresponding Google Patents page is displayed for each publication number.
Optionally, the JPO API can be used to display J-PlatPat pages, enabling automatic display even for Japanese publications not in Google Patents or lacking a PDF. Note: users must apply to the JPO for an API access key and configure it in PDO.
3. Displaying PDF / Word Files
For locally saved PDF or Word files, PDO automatically converts the path to file:/// URI format for display.
4. Display Delays or Problems
Delays may occur due to internet connection speed, server load, or security checks on the destination site. If a page or file takes more than 10 seconds to load, PDO skips to the next one.
