Abstract
A system and method for document processing includes a three-dimensional touch interface, a processor and associated memory. The processor generates thumbnail image data from received electronic document data and document format data corresponding to the electronic document data and the thumbnail image data. The memory stores associatively the electronic document data, the thumbnail image data and the document format data. The touch interface displays a thumbnail image from the thumbnail image data and generates user input data in accordance with application of one of a plurality of detectable pressure levels to the thumbnail image. The processor commences a document processing operation in accordance with the user input data and the document format data.
