This invention is related to remote document access. More specifically, mobile device users are provided with the ability to easily access remote documents over a network such as the Internet, and to quickly view the content without resorting to a local download. By introducing streaming-on-demand and dividing the page into smaller segments, the invention significantly reduces bandwidth usage and speeds up the complete viewing process, since only data corresponding to the active viewing window is transmitted. As a result, resources are effectively utilized, and users seamlessly view documents. Moreover, users are able to easily identify documents by viewing thumbnails of original layouts and/or reading document content with an image quality that is very close to what is on their desktop. Without downloading the complete document onto a mobile device, this invention allows a mobile user to approve or forward the document to coworkers, and to print or fax the document on a nearby printer or fax machine.
