Various embodiments provide an ability to load documents and access page content associated with documents while the documents are still being loaded. In at least some embodiments, while a document's structure is being processed in the background, individual pages can be requested. The same can be said for individual documents that comprise a part of a package that contains multiple documents. In at least some embodiments, multiple threads are utilized to enable a document's structure to be built and to enable a user to access portions of the document while the document is being built or loaded.

Progressive page loading

Technology described herein is directed to converting display-rendering instructions (e.g., DIRECT2D) into print-rendering instructions (e.g., EMF, WMF, XPS, and SVG). For example, a request to print an item (e.g., document) is received, the item being displayable on an output device when display-rendering instructions are executed. A print render target is created that includes an instructions converter. The display-rendering instructions are routed to the print render target. The instructions converter maps the display-rendering instructions to the print-rendering instructions, which are usable to print the item.

Printing DIRECT2D-rendered items

Various embodiments can be used to process packages or documents that contain markup language describing one or more documents. Markup language descriptions can be processed to identify certain objects that reoccur or are repeated in the markup language description. If a re-occurring or repeating object is encountered in the markup language description, a resource dictionary can be used to catalog such objects and, an associated object model can include, from the resource dictionary, references to a re-occurring or repeating object. By using the resource dictionary as such, memory resources can be conserved when an in-memory representation of the object model is built.
