Abstract
A method for the transmission of the pages of an electronic document (100) by a client station to a server station connected by a communication network, with a view to the processing of the document by a processing peripheral, includes the steps of sending (S403) to the server station a document processing request; receiving (S405) a page request from the server station, the page request including information identifying a page of the document; translating (S407) orders corresponding to the page identified in the page request into a computer communication language; sending (S409) to the server station a response containing the translated orders corresponding to the identified page. Correlatively, a method of processing an electronic document in the server station includes the steps of a receiving a message from the client station, the message including information identifying a page to be processed of the document; sending a page request to the client station, said page request including the said page identification information, and aimed at obtaining from the client station the processing orders corresponding to the page identified by the identification information; receiving a response from the client station, the response containing the orders corresponding to the identified page translated into the computer communication language.
