A system and method for dynamic zoom adjustment based, in part, upon: the raster data in the user selected local area is disclosed; and/or the knowledge of a prevailing font size in a user selected region such that the text in that region is enlarged to be just readable. To achieve this, the detail in the local area is examined and a zoom factor is calculated that depends on the image detail and/or the viewing screen resolution. A document server may be employed to develop the information needed to enable this functionality. In one embodiment, the information is developed by RIPping the document, and then storing a spatial map of localized details (e.g., font sizes at several display resolutions) to automatically adjust a zoom level or factor and thereby facilitate navigation and reading.

1. A method for providing a source document image for display, comprising: identifying a plurality of sections of the source document image, and at least one characteristic of each of the sections;associating a display zoom factor with each of the identified sections based upon the at least one characteristic of each section;creating an adjusted zoom image of at least a selected section for display in response to the display zoom factor for the selected section;sending the adjusted zoom image of the selected image section for display; anddisplaying the adjusted zoom image. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one characteristic of each section is identified during a raster input processing operation performed on the source document. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising generating a spatial map of the source document. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the zoom factor is based on said spatial map. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising identifying sections in the source document as one of the group consisting of: text, image and graphic. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein identifying sections comprises detecting the presence of colors in the section, and if the number of colors is greater than a predefined threshold, characterizing the section as an image. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein identifying sections further comprises, for those sections not characterized as an image, estimating the periodicity of the section, and if periodicity is present, characterizing the section as text, otherwise characterizing the section as graphic. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the display zoom factor is determined as a function of a font size within the selected section. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the display zoom factor is determined as a function of a largest font size within the selected section. 10. The method of claim 7, further comprising creating a projection of the image within the selected section and deriving run lengths therefrom, wherein a common run length is selected and employed to determine the zoom factor suitable to alter the common run length to a desired size on the display. 11. A document image display system, comprising: a source document image created from a rasterized image;a server for processing the source document image and identifying a plurality of sections of the source document, and at least one characteristic of each of the sections;memory for storing the at least one characteristic for each of the plurality of sections; anda computing device, including a display associated therewith, for displaying at least a section of the source document, wherein the section is displayed as an image received from the server, and where said image is created for display using a display zoom factor based upon the at least one characteristic of the section. 12. The document display system of claim 11, further including a network, interconnecting the server and the computing device, wherein the computing device transmits a user's selection to the server, and where the server, in response to the selection, creates an adjusted zoom image of at least the selected section in response to the zoom factor, and then sends the adjusted zoom image of the selected section back to the computing device for display. 13. The document display system of claim 12, wherein the computing device transmits and the server receives information about said user's display before identifying source document regions. 14. The document display system of claim 11, wherein the server processes the raster image to identify sections in the source document and characterizes each section as one of the group consisting of: text, image and graphic, and stores the information identifying and characterizing each section in memory. 15. A method for providing a source document for display on a handheld device, comprising: identifying, with a server, a plurality of sections of the source document and for each section determining at least one characteristic representative of each of said sections;for each identified section, associating at least one display zoom factor therewith based on the at least one characteristic representative of said section;sending a first document image, at a first zoom level, from the server to a handheld device for display thereon;selecting, using the handheld device, at least one of said sections of said document for zooming;transmitting, from said handheld device to the server, information identifying the selected section;creating on the server, in response to the information identifying the selected section, a second document image including at least a portion of the selected section at the display zoom factor; andsending the second document image from the server to the handheld device. 16. The method of claim 15, further including sending from the handheld device to the server information characterizing at least one aspect of a display associated therewith. 17. The method of claim 16 wherein the zoom factor is also a function of the at least one aspect of the display. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the at least one characteristic representative of said section is selected from the group consisting of: text, image and graphic. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein identifying a plurality of sections comprises detecting the presence of colors in the section, and if the number of colors is greater than a predefined threshold, characterizing the section as an image and setting the display zoom factor accordingly. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein identifying a plurality of sections further comprises, for those sections not characterized as an image, estimating the periodicity of the section, and if periodicity is present, characterizing the section as text and setting the display zoom factor to permit reading of the text therein, otherwise characterizing the section as graphic and setting the display zoom factor accordingly.
