Systems and methods for synchronizing graphical displays across thin client devices

A system for synchronizing a document markup modification across a plurality of devices, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
• subscribing to one or more events occurring in a first thin client document markup application installed in a first device;
• receiving a notification indicating a modification to a document markup in the first thin client document markup application;
• generating a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object representative of the modified document markup;
• receiving permission settings defined by the first device representative of access limitations to the modified document markup based on a group of a device receiving the modified document markup;
• transmitting, the JSON object and the permission settings to a second thin client document markup application installed in a second device, such that the JSON object is accessible at the second device in accordance with the permission settings;
• and
• transmitting, the JSON object and the permission settings to a markup translation server, wherein the markup translation server translates the JSON object to a portable document format (PDF) dictionary object and transmits the PDF dictionary object and the permission settings to a thick client document markup application installed in a third device, such that the PDF dictionary object is accessible at the third device in accordance with the permission settings;
• wherein the group of the second device is different from the group of the third device such that access to the JSON object at the second device varies from access of the PDF dictionary object at the third device based on the second device and the third device being of different groups.
