Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide content items to clients. In one implementation, a system stores data identifying a plurality of cache servers, the cache servers storing the content items for download by a plurality of clients. The system receives a request from a first one of the clients to download one of the content items. The system selects one or more of the cache servers for providing the requested content item to the first client. The system transmits identifiers of the selected one or more cache servers to the first client, and transmits instructions to the first client. The instructions are operable, when executed by the first client, to determine whether the selected one or more cache servers have a local copy of the requested content item. When the first client determines that a first one of the selected one or more cache servers has a local copy of the requested content item, the first client downloads the requested content item from the first selected cache server.

Abstract: System and process for handling clips with annotations. A user annotates a document that is displayed in an access session. Information is gathered regarding the annotation, which is associated with active content included in the document. The annotation is stored with a static image of the active content. A link to the content is stored. An image is rendered that has a clip including the stored annotation and the image of the content, and is displayed.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for filtering a list of fonts based on the criteria that each font in the resulting filter supports every single glyph in an arbitrary array of glyphs. The array of glyphs may include one or more glyphs and can be, for example, user-defined (e.g., based on a user content selection within a given document, or entries made on a configuration page) and/or defined by a selected digital document or folder system (where only fonts that support all glyphs used within that entire document or folder system are listed). The techniques can be implemented, for instance, in digital content generation/editing systems that allow for a variety of different fonts and glyphs to be used. In any such cases, the system can be configured to allow for viewing a filtered font list, such that each and every glyph of interest is supported by each font presented in the list.

Abstract: Embedded Media Markers (EMM) are optical-filter-like overlaid marks that can be printed on a part of a paper document that signify the existence of media associated with that part of the document. Users take a picture of an EMM-signified document patch using a cell phone camera, and the media associated with the EMM-signified document location is retrieved and displayed on the phone. Unlike bar codes, EMMs are nearly transparent and thus do not interfere with the document contents. Retrieval of media associated with an EMM is based on image local features of the captured EMM-signified document patch. A semi-automatically technique places an EMM at a location in a document, in such a way that the EMM encompasses sufficient identification features with minimal disturbance to the original document.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for generating a shape tag cloud display. A user input is received that specifies an arbitrarily hand-drawn shape tag. A set of shape tag equivalence classes is updated based on the received user input to assign the arbitrarily hand-drawn shape tag to a shape tag equivalence class having similar previously entered arbitrarily hand-drawn shape tags. Rankings of the shape tags relative to one another are generated. The shape tag cloud display is generated based on the rankings. A representation of each shape tag within the shape tag cloud display has display characteristics based on the rankings. The shape tag cloud display is then output.

Abstract: A flow of objects, such as text, on a page may be analyzed by generating an initial determination of whether a portion of an object is continued from one page to another based on a cue in an area of the object. The initial determination may be visually represented on a page. The initial determination may be corrected by an editor to create an editor determination when the initial determination is not a correct continuation status of the portion of the object. In some aspects, the initial determination may include a statistical confidence interval, a reason display, and/or a magnification of portions of the object which may be included in a continuation. In other aspects, heuristics may learn from the editor changes to improve a subsequent initial determination.

Abstract: Various areas of a displayed document (e.g., text, image, etc.) may be selected and clipped as a separate document. In some arrangements, a user may wish to change the area of the clipped area without having to retrieve the displayed document again. Accordingly, the area of the clipped region may be modified by retrieving and storing the displayed document when the region is initially clipped. When the selected region is to be modified at a later time, the stored document may be used instead of having to retrieve the document from a source location.
