US Patent 7640494 Document generation from web pages

An output document may be produced from a Web source document by including special markup or output indicators designating output regions in said source document. After detecting the output indicators, any dynamic markup in the Web source document is resolved. An HTML stream is generated that includes the resolved dynamic markup and is then rendered in memory on an internal HTML viewer. The internally rendered HTML is mapped into a print object. Depending on the format of the output document desired, a document transform object is selected that uses the print object to create the output document in the selected format.
