SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SHARING UNSUPPORTED DOCUMENT TYPES BETWEEN COMMUNICATION DEVICES

An improved system and method for sharing a document between two communication devices that do not have an application that can display the document. In one example, the document is sent by the communication device that is sharing the document to a document server for processing into pages of one or more different document types, and both communication devices retrieve the stored pages as needed for display. The sharing communication device updates the other communication device when a new page is to be retrieved from the document server.
