Abstract: A method and apparatus in a data processing system for generating a metadata stream. A request is received to render an object. A determination is made as to whether a device hint associated with the object is present. The object is placed in the metadata stream. The device hint is placed in the metadata stream, responsive to the device hint associated with the object being present. Then the device can take advantage of the hints without requiring it to preprocess the set of objects.
