Abstract: A computing device includes at least one processor to execute a web browser application and a separate and distinct script execution application. The web browser application submits a script execution request to the script execution application, and the script execution application executes a first script task based on the script execution request.

Abstract: A computing device includes at least one processor to execute a web browser application and a separate and distinct plug-in deployment application. The web browser application receives user action information indicating user interaction with a web page displayed by the web browser application, determines that a new plug-in is to be installed based on the user action information, and provides the plug-in deployment application with download instructions for downloading the new plug-in. The plug-in deployment application automatically downloads the new plug-in in response to the download instructions without user involvement, and automatically installs the new plug-in on the computing device without user involvement.

Abstract: A request is received from a web-based programmatic resource executing within an application that is installed on the computing device. From the request, one or more functional resources of the computing device are identified. The functional resources are not otherwise accessible to the web-based programmatic resource executing within the installed application on the computing device. A task is performed using the identified one or more functional resources.

Abstract: Techniques pertaining to embedding fonts in a PDF document are disclosed. A processing component executing a PDF application programming interface (API) may be operative to identify each character in a PDF file associated with an un-embedded font. The PDF API may store a bitmap representation for each identified character in the PDF file associated with the un-embedded font. The PDF API may then create a bitmap font character from the bitmap representation for each identified character in the PDF file associated with an un-embedded font and replace each reference to a character in the PDF file associated with an un-embedded font with a reference to its corresponding bitmap font character.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to processing a scanned form by causing an action to occur. The scanned form includes a unique identifier that indicates that the action is to occur when the form is scanned. The unique identifier is detected in the scanned form data. The scanned form data may be transmitted to a server to use the unique identifier to identify the action to execute for processing the scanned data.

Abstract: A content aggregator aggregates metadata for content from a content provider. This includes mapping the metadata from a format of the content provider to an instruction format of a fulfiller to enable the fulfiller to utilize the metadata and access the content.

Abstract: A method for print specification conversion performed by a print specification conversion system includes, with the print specification conversion system, receiving an electronic document, the electronic document comprising a first print specification, and with the print specification conversion system, converting the first print specification into a second print specification using a plug-in to the print specification conversion system, the plug-in designed for use with the first print specification. The second print specification is designed for use with a printing system associated with the print specification conversion system.

Abstract: A display system includes a display device and a data processing module. The display device is configured to display an image and has a processing profile associated therewith. The data processing module is remote from and operatively coupled to the display device and is configured to receive input image data for the image to be displayed and generate processed image data from the input image data based on the processing profile of the display device.

Abstract: An apparatus for mapping image shapes for a display device includes: an illuminating light source such as an integrating rod; a mechanism for selecting an image aspect ratio or shape; and a mechanism for reshaping light exiting from the illuminating light source depending upon the image aspect ratio or shape.
