Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards employing a printer to convert a document from its native file format into an image representation printable by the printer. A document may be provided to the printer in a native file format (e.g., .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, or .pptx) that is editable by a document-processing application. A page representation of each of page of the document to be printed may be determined. Each page representation (which may include a plurality of graphics primitives) may be determined straight from the native file format of the document independent of an intermediate page description language. From each page representation, an image representation (e.g., a bitmap) may be determined based on the plurality of graphics primitives of a corresponding page representation. At least one page of the document may be printed based on the determined image representations.
