Cloud and HTML based document management and creation system

摘要

A web-browser/web server method of creating new documents and signing existing documents, in particular faxes and email attachments, useful for ecommerce and other applications. Documents or document components are sent to the web server. At the web server, the images of the documents are converted to an image layer, and are manipulated by combining the image layer with annotation layers constructed from instructions and data that are uploaded by the user from a web browser or app running on a remote computerized device. The system and method manipulates the documents using HTML5 based image manipulation features such as the element. Using this method, users may view and otherwise manipulate documents from their web browsers as if the documents were residing on their local machine. Users may then instruct the remote server to transmit to the intended destination by analog or electronic fax, email attachment, download, or other means.
