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: 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.
