Rendering content in a graphical user interface (GUI) is disclosed. A region of a GUI is defined as a graphical object. The graphical object corresponds to content. Input is received from an input device. The received input identifies a location on the GUI. The location is in spatial proximity to the defined region of a graphical object. In response to receiving such input, the content corresponding to the graphical object is rendered in the defined region of the GUI. The content may be rendered only in a subset of the defined region of the GUI. Further input, such as input corresponding to a particular location on the GUI, or input corresponding to a change in locations on the GUI in a particular direction, may be received, causing one or more commands to be executed on the rendered content.

A system and method creates an output document file that describes the appearance of a source document from a print stream of commands received from an application, and allows the output document file to be printed or displayed via a lightweight application, such as a plug-in to a browser. User interface controls are merged into the document at the time of creation, allowing those controls to be customized to viewer's needs.
