Modifying Native Document Comments In A Preview

摘要

A document preview system provides previews of a native document to client devices. The previews include comments associated with native objects in the native document. The document preview system identifies bounding areas in the preview associated with the native objects, which may be identified by the rendering markers applied to the native document prior to rendering. Using the bounding areas, the document preview system identifies comments for the native document and determines the location to display the comment using native objects associated with the comment. When a new comment is received from a user for a preview of a native document, the document preview system determines native objects for the new comment that match a user's selection for placing the new comment. The new comment is inserted with the native objects in the native document.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a document preview system, a request to generate a preview of a native document, the preview representing the native document in a file format other than the file format of the native document; identifying, by the document preview system, a set of rendering markers, each rendering marker in the set of rendering markers associated with a different native object in the native document; and generating, by the document preview system, a preview of the native document, wherein generating the preview includes generating a bounding area for each of the rendering markers in the set of rendering markers, the bounding area mapping a location in the preview to the native object in the native document.
