[. . . ] Unlike traditional approaches, the viewer can access native files, so synchronisation is not necessary and files can be grabbed straight off PC filing systems, flash cards and networks/internet without the need for pre-conversion. ePAGE deals directly with the original document in its native format, and aims to faithfully represent all of the features of the original. Moreover, the novel software architecture based on Picsel's ePAGE technology enables multiple format types to be richly supported in a single application. ePAGE achieves a breakthrough in its ability to interpret and render complex file formats. Many apparently straightforward formats have in the past encountered difficulties even when used in their original application software on a different platform, for example when going from a PC to a Macintosh. Sometimes these files assume characteristics of the computer on which they are used, such as the screen size or byte order, and such assumptions have to be unravelled when using them on a different device. To compound the challenge, some formats may contain proprietary features which are not revealed to the public, and which even have been forgotten within the originating company. Others, such as HTML, have written standards yet are still subject to differing interpretations as evidenced by the varying treatment of web pages in proprietary browsers. Picsel Text File Format Support Page 4 ePAGE supports the most popular global file formats. The formats interpreted by ePAGE are richly expressive, containing not just text but sophisticated layout and rendering features, rich fonts, colour, images, tables, graphics and many other document features. Picsel is continuously developing its file format support to eventually cover every feature of the native file. With such a wealth of features across many document types, this is inevitably an ongoing process, with milestone releases of new functionality planned at periodic intervals. The approach involves researching the feature set most commonly found in real documents, building support early for the most frequently used elements, and ensuring these features are reproduced with total faithfulness to the original.
