Methods and systems for rendering electronic data

A method of electronically rendering data on a computer readable medium, comprising:

• receiving one or more text objects and floating objects according to an input data format for an input page of media;
• generating an output page for the input page of media into one or more textual areas for housing the text objects and into floating areas for housing the floating objects, wherein the one or more textual areas are derived by subtracting the floating areas from the output page;
• outputting and converting and streaming the floating objects into the floating areas within the output page according to an output data format, wherein the input data format is different from the output data format;
• outputting and streaming the text objects into the textual areas adjacent to the floating areas and before the floating objects according to the output data format within the output page.

A method of electronically providing for a footnote body on a page, comprising:

• receiving one or more page objects including reference objects and body objects according to an input data format;
• generating a body area located at the bottom of a page to house the body objects according to an output data format, and wherein the input data format is different from the output data format;
• generating a reference area located above the body area to house the reference objects according to the output data format;
• forming a reference geometric rectangle representing the reference area and a body geometric rectangle representing the body area according to the output data format;
• and
• automatically expanding an area of the body geometric rectangle to accommodate an additional body object while decreasing a second area of the reference area maintaining an overall area associated with the page.
