3. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising: incorporating the physical markup representation into an existing document.
1. A method for converting a semantic markup representation of a document into a physical markup representation of the document, comprising: calculating a logical minimum width equal to the minimum width required to display all screen objects within the document at their normal size; creating a physical markup representation of the document, the physical markup representation having a width at least as wide as the logical minimum width; and conforming the physical markup representation to a target size, including a target width, conforming the physical markup representation comprising: testing whether a scaling factor derived from a ratio of the target width to the logical minimum width is less than a specified threshold: rotating the pages of the physical markup representation by plus or minus 90° based on testing whether the scaling factor is less than the specified threshold; and scaling the width of the physical markup representation by the scaling factor or by a recalculated scaling factor derived from a new ratio of the target width to a new logical minimum width of the rotated pages.
