Abstract
An automated rendering system and method are provided. In one embodiment, the system comprises a processor circuit having a processor and a memory. Stored in the memory and executable by the processor is a rendering service that comprises logic that identifies an application employed to generate a digital document in a computer system, and logic that identifies a select rendering application from a number of rendering applications in the computer system to render the document into an output file embodied in a predefined file format. The rendering service further comprises logic that automatically executes the select rendering application to render the digital document into the output file embodied in the predefined file format.
