1. A method of producing a document with dynamic content for display in either a static or dynamic environment comprising:
- generating an object including defining a dynamic characteristic and a static characteristic for the object;
storing the object in an embeddable file format; and
authoring a document using an authoring application including embedding the object into the document and preparing the document as part of the print process for display such that when the document is displayed in a dynamic environment the dynamic characteristic of the object is displayed and when the document is displayed in a static environment the static characteristic of the object is displayed.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for producing a document with dynamic content for display in either a static or dynamic environment. A method includes generating an object including defining a dynamic characteristic for the object, storing the object in a embeddable file format and authoring a document using an authoring application including embedding the object into the document and preparing the document as part of the print process for display such that when the document is displayed in a dynamic environment the dynamic appearance of the object is displayed.

9. A method of displaying a document with dynamic content in either a static or dynamic environment, the method comprising:
-
receiving a document produced by an authoring application as part of a print process, the authoring application embedding an object in the document as part of an authoring process to create the document, the object stored in an embeddable file format and including a dynamic characteristic and a static characteristic for the object;
initiating the display of the document on an output device;
if the output display device supports dynamic content, distilling the document to detect the dynamic characteristic of the object and displaying the dynamic characteristic of the object when displaying the document on the output device; and
if the output display device does not support dynamic content, displaying the static characteristic of the object when displaying the document on the output device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of producing a document with dynamic content for display in either a static or dynamic environment comprising:
-
embedding an object having a dynamic characteristic and a static characteristic in a document; and
producing a printable document while retaining the dynamic characteristic of the object such that when the printable document is displayed in a dynamic environment the dynamic characteristic of the object is displayed. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A computer program product, tangibly stored on a computer-readable medium, for producing a document with dynamic content for display in either a static or dynamic environment, the program comprising instructions to:
-
generate an object including instructions to define a dynamic characteristic and a static characteristic for the object;
store the object in an embeddable file format; and
author a document using an authoring application including instructions to embed the object into the document and prepare the document as part of the print process for display such that when the document is displayed in a dynamic environment the dynamic characteristic of the object is displayed and when the document is displayed in a static environment the static characteristic of the object is displayed. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A computer program product, tangibly stored on a computer-readable medium, for displaying a document with dynamic content in either a static or dynamic environment, the program comprising instructions to:
-
receive a document produced by an authoring application as part of a print process, the authoring application embedding an object in the document as part of an authoring process to create the document, the object stored in an embeddable file format and including a dynamic characteristic and a static characteristic for the object;
initiate the display of the document on an output device;
if the output display device supports dynamic content, distill the document to detect the dynamic characteristic of the object and display the dynamic characteristic of the object when displaying the document on the output device; and
if the output display device does not support dynamic content, display the static characteristic of the object when displaying the document on the output device. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A computer program product, tangibly stored on a computer-readable medium, for producing a document with dynamic content for display in either a static or dynamic environment, the program comprising instructions to:
-
embed an object having a dynamic characteristic in a document; and
produce a printable document while retaining the dynamic characteristic of the object such that when the printable document is displayed in a dynamic environment the dynamic characteristic of the object is displayed. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A printer configured to receive a document with dynamic content for display in either a static or dynamic environment, comprising:
-
an engine for receiving a document having a dynamic object embedded therein, the dynamic object having a dynamic characteristic and a static characteristic, a print engine that initiates the display of the document on an output device, and, if the output display device supports dynamic content, distills the document to detect the dynamic characteristic of the object, such that when the document is displayed in a dynamic environment the dynamic characteristic of the object is displayed and when the document is printed the static characteristic of the object is printed. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48)
