1. A method for on-line proofing of an original document containing a high resolution raster graphics image in non-scalable format, the original document also containing content other than an image, comprising the operations of:

  • sending by a client computer a document request to a document server computer;

    generating by a fragmenting tool a proof document from an original document file that represents the original document, the proof document not having the high resolution raster graphics image in non-scalable format and having the content other than an image;

    inserting into the proof document a reference to the high resolution raster graphics image in non-scalable format that is not in the proof document;

    storing the high resolution raster graphics image in non-scalable format in an image file on an image server computer;

    sending by the client computer an image data request to the image server computer;

    transmitting the image data from the image server computer to the client computer in response to the image data request; and

    composing a scaled proof document based on the original document by combining the proof document with the image data representing the raster graphics image in non-scalable format, the raster graphics image being scaled at the appropriate resolution for a selected one of a viewable operation, printable operation, and savable operation.
