  • determining a current page position of a document viewed on a user interface of a client device;

    detecting navigation to a new page of the document on the user interface;

    predicting an upcoming data range request based on the determined current page position and the navigation;

    submitting the data range request to a remote server;

    preloading requested data on the remote server by a first come first serve (FCFS) scheme;

    retrieving the requested data from the remote server by the FCFS scheme;

    storing the requested data on a local cache associated with the client device until one of the document or an application associated with the document is closed;

    deleting the local cache at predefined time intervals to prevent the local cache from occupying memory on the client device; and

    normalizing the requested data by translating at least one of;

    at least one page number, at least one name, at least one unit, and at least one formatting to match a format of the document viewed on the user interface of the client device.
