System and method for printable document viewer optimization

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a compute device and from a second compute device, a signal indicative of a preview image that is based on (1) a data file, (2) a set of raster image fonts, (3) a low-resolution image based on a user selected image, and (4) frame data associated with a print file template;
• sending, from the first compute device and to the second compute device, a signal indicative of a modification of the data file;
• receiving, at the first compute device and from the second compute device, an indication of a definition of a print file based on (1) a set of vector fonts based on user selected text, (2) a high resolution image based on the user selected image, and (3) the frame data, and (4) the modification to the data file.
