A method and a system for converting a document in a streamed manner, resulting in rapid transmission and display of each part of a document as that part is converted. The system and method are preferred for operation in environments with limited bandwidth and/or display capacity, such as wireless handheld devices. Since such devices cannot easily receive large amounts of data, and also typically have relatively small display screens, the present invention allows the user to quickly receive and display each part of a document after being converted, rather than waiting for the entire document to be converted and then transmitted before any part is displayed. In addition, the invention is particularly useful for modulator file formats, such as word processing document file formats, in which each module of a file can only be fully interpreted with regard to at least one other module. The present invention utilizes conversion server (26) and instruction agent (14) for conversion of document source (20), with the resulting document displayed on display device (12). |
