HIGH-FIDELITY RENDERING OF DOCUMENTS IN VIEWER CLIENTS

摘要

Tools and techniques are described for high-fidelity rendering of documents in viewer clients. Methods provided by these tools and techniques may detect whether client systems have a plug-in installed for rendering high-fidelity content. in response to detecting that a given client system has installed the rendering plug-in, these methods may select a first high-fidelity format compatible with the plug-in for rendering the content on the client system. However, in response to detecting that the client system has not installed the rendering plug-in, the methods may select a second high-fidelity format for rendering the content on the client system, without installing the plug-in on the client system. These methods may also request document pages for rendering on the client system in the selected format, and may receive at least a subset of the document pages in the selected format.
