Document server and recording medium recording document processing program

Abstract

To provide a document server which can use a document without preparing various application programs regardless of a data format of the document. In response to a request from a client, a converted document data generation unit retrieves a document from a document storage unit, generates a converted document data of HTML format or the like, and transmits the generated converted document data to the client through a network communication unit. When the client inputs information into an input item and the converted document data is returned to the document server, a document embedding unit extracts the input information and embeds the extracted input information into the input item of the original document to form a new document. According to a request, a preview image data generation unit generates preview image data from the new document, and transmits to the client. The preview image data is displayed at the client, and the preview is realized. The new document embedded with the input item can be transmitted in form of a facsimile or an electronic mail to a destination indicated by the client.
