Abstract

A method and system for file translation is presented. The system and method add implicit translation capability to the Apple Finder system software. The invention provides file conversion capability that dynamically searches for alternative programs and translation software on disks connected to a computer both locally and remotely via a communications link, such as a local area network, and allows a user to select from recommended choices for opening or converting a document. The invention offers a user the option of converting one or more documents to a new format, without opening them.
