Method and computer program product for verifying a computer renderable document for on-screen appearance
First Claim
1. A method for verifying a computer renderable document for on-screen appearance when displayed by an application adapted to apply any one of a plurality of predetermined window resolutions responsive to an input signal, said method comprising the steps of:
- identifying the computer renderable document to be verified for the application;
providing an input signal to the application to select a window resolution of the plurality of predetermined window resolutions;
rendering an image of the document at the selected window resolution on a screen of a reference display monitor of a reference computing platform, wherein the rendered image at the selected window resolution on the screen of the reference display monitor emulates a rendered on-screen appearance of the image at the selected window resolution on a screen of another display monitor of another computing platform, wherein the screen of the another display monitor has a smaller window size than does the screen of the reference display monitor, wherein the reference display monitor comprises a maximum window resolution greater than the selected window resolution, and wherein said rendering is performed by executing the application on the reference computing platform;
determining if the emulated on-screen appearance of the image of the screen of the another display monitor of the another computing platform meets predetermined acceptance criteria at the selected window resolution; and
repeating, for each of the other window resolutions of the plurality of predetermined window resolutions, the steps of providing an input signal, rendering an image of the document, and determining if the on-screen appearance of the computer renderable document meets the predetermined acceptance criteria.

Abstract
A method and computer program product for verifying on-screen appearance of a document. A selected window is provided to an application. An image of the document is rendered at the selected window resolution on a screen of a reference display monitor of a reference computing platform on which the application is executed to perform the rendering. The rendered image emulates a rendered on-screen appearance of the image at the selected window resolution on a screen of another display monitor of another computing platform. The screen of the another display monitor has a smaller window size than the screen of the reference display monitor. The reference display monitor'"'"'s maximum window resolution exceeds the selected window resolution. It is determined whether the emulated image meets acceptance criteria. For other window resolutions, the method repeats: providing an input signal, rendering the image of the document, and determining if the acceptance criteria are satisfied.
