  • Publication number: 20100011289
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method of converting a document to an image set includes receiving the document; generating a conversion specification with a unique document identifier and a set of image parameters; combining the conversion specification and the stored document into a conversion task object; generating the image set using the conversion task object; and providing the generated image set to an image server. In another embodiment, a computer-implemented system for viewing documents includes a first node configured to receive a document file from a first user and generate a conversion specification using the unique identifier and a set of image parameters relating to the document file. A conversion feeder receives and converts the conversion specification and the document file into a conversion task object. At least one converter generates an image set including one or more images related to the document file by using the conversion task object.
