ABSTRACT:
In a device with limited processor and/or memory capability, such as a Personal Digital Assistant or handheld computer, that has a viewscreen, a method and system for viewing a facsimile transmission image. After being sent, the facsimile transmission is routed to and intercepted by a computer system for processing before it reaches the device. The processing of the facsimile transmission includes recognizing text and outputting it, along with rendering information such as position, to a transmittal file. Once the recognizable text has been filtered from the facsimile transmission, the remaining images are edge-fit and output to the transmittal data file by position and other rendering information. The transmittal file is sent to the device with the viewscreen. The device then uses the information contained within the transmittal file to render a version of the facsimile transmission image and display it on the viewscreen.
