Pervasive output capability is provided so that an information apparatus
can pervasively output digital content to an output device regardless of the processing
power, display screen size and memory space of the information apparatus. This
allows small mobile devices with limited display, processing power, and memory
to be able to output a digital document (e.g., PDF, HTML, PowerPoint etc) in its
full original richness, without resorting to downsizing, truncating, reducing,
clipping or otherwise altering the original document. Data output server software
in computer readable medium may include software for receiving at a server a document
object corresponding to output content managed with an information apparatus, and
software for receiving at the server an output device object with one or more attributes
corresponding to an output device for rendering the output content, the server
being distinct from the information apparatus and the output device. There may
also be software for generating output data employing at least partly the document
object and the output device object, the output data relating to the output content
for rendering at the output device, and software for transmitting the output data
for rendering of the output content at the output device.
