Description of the invention () It can be said that there is still no such thing—a design that is sufficient for the document to be used for a long time in a long-term storage device. To support the output of various data formats, there are many solutions. The first solution is commonly found in database systems, but this only supports a predetermined number of predetermined data formats for display on the screen or for printing, for example. The number of available data formats is therefore limited. In addition, a database system like this has only a fairly limited ability to expand the supported data formats, and users will have to convert the generated files into other data formats. The second solution is commonly found in the Internet. "There are various data formats on the network feeder. Users can use the browser to view these data in the data format that supports them. . In other examples, 'the browser acts as a so-called inserter (IMug_in) or viewer (viewer)', that is, the user tells the browser which program should be used to format the data. This has the advantage that the number of data formats is not limited. However, 'the disadvantage is that the user needs a large number or even hundreds of inserters or readers', which requires not only a large amount of storage space, but also a considerable maintenance cost. Because new data formats are continuously used due to the transient nature of the data on the Internet, in order to process these data, more corresponding interposers or readers need to be manufactured. Therefore, in this solution, the users themselves must still be involved. In addition, regardless of whether it is a database system, a mailing system, or other systems, every user of a computer system knows that in many cases, the national paper standard (CNS) A4 specification applies to this paper standard. 210x297 mm) ------------ ^ install -------- order --------- line 5 (please read the Jiang Yi matters on the back before filling in this Page] Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ^ 5270 5 A7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs
