Abstract: An abstraction for one or more commands associated with a client application may be received upon deployment of a host application. The abstraction may be an extension with a same package and code such that the extension is enabled across a variety of platforms, host applications, and devices. For example, the extension may be displayed through a user interface of the host application based on definitions contained within the abstraction such that the extension is compatible with a platform and device on which the host application is deployed. The commands may be translated into graphical control elements, and displayed in conjunction with the extension based on the definitions. Upon invocation of one or more of the commands, an action may be performed based on the definitions enabling the client application to interact with content being created, edited, and/or viewed in the host application in an appropriate context.

Abstract: A set of protocols support a common script object model for document interaction that crosses document types and runtime environments. A cross frame browser-based protocol may provide a secure, scalable, and asynchronous mechanism for transmitting script object model requests to document hosts and managing responses to developer code in standards-compliant browsers. A hostable runtime Application Programming Interface (API) may provide a secure, scalable, and asynchronous protocol to transmit script object model requests across process boundaries to document hosts back to developer code with minimum performance impact on the document host.

Abstract: A software tool for digitally signing multiple documents is disclosed. When a user wishes to sign multiple documents containing embedded executable code for purposes of authenticating the code, the user launches this software tool. The user specifies the documents which he or she wishes signed. Thereupon, the tool automatically signs each of the documents and displays the results.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for forming a digital signature for a portion of a document. A registered module is invoked to process the document in accordance with a structured format associated with the document. The registered module is able to process a plurality of different structured format. The registered module obtains the portion. A digital signature is formed for the portion. The digital signature is included in the document in accordance with the structured format.
