Systems and methods for providing electronic document services

1. A method for obtaining one or more document services for a document, comprising:

displaying, by a computing device, a document and a selectable icon within a document preparation software application running on the computing device, wherein the selectable icon represents a document service;

detecting, by the computing device, selection of the selectable icon; and

providing the document from the computing device to one or more service providers for performance of the document service by the one or more service providers, wherein the one or more service providers are located remotely from the computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

contacting, by the computing device, a server to identify available document services.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, an indication from the server that at least the document service is available.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

activating, by the computing device, the selectable icon in response to receiving the indication from the server that at least the document service is available.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

configuring, by the computing device, the displayed document preparation software application based at least in part on the indication from the server that at least the document service is available.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein configuring the displayed document preparation software application comprises:

configuring, by the computing device, a toolbar within the displayed document preparation software application, wherein the toolbar comprises the selectable icon.

7. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, the selectable icon from the server.

8. A system for obtaining one or more document services for a document, comprising:

one or more computing devices configured to run a document preparation software application; and

one or more displays configured to display a document and a selectable icon within the document preparation software application, wherein the selectable icon represents a document service,

wherein the one or more computing devices are further configured to:

detect selection of the selectable icon; and

provide the document from the system to one or more service providers for performance of the document service by the one or more service providers, wherein the one or more service providers are located remotely from the system.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more computing devices are further configured to contact a server to identify available document services.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more computing devices are further configured to receive an indication from the server that at least the document service is available.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more computing devices are further configured to activate the selectable icon in response to receiving the indication from the server that at least the document service is available.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more computing devices are further configured to configure a display of the document preparation software application based at least in part on the indication from the server that at least the document service is available.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more computing devices are further configured to configure the display of the document preparation software application by configuring a toolbar within the displayed document preparation software application, wherein the toolbar comprises the selectable icon.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more computing devices are further configured to receive the selectable icon from the server.

15. A computer-readable device having embodied thereon instructions for obtaining one or more document services for a document, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to:

display a document and a selectable icon within a document preparation software application running on the computing device, wherein the selectable icon represents a document service;

detect selection of the selectable icon; and

provide the document from the computing device to one or more service providers for performance of the document service by the one or more service providers, wherein the one or more service providers are located remotely from the computing device.

16. The computer-readable device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more computing devices, further cause the one or more computing devices to:

contact a server to identify available document services.

17. The computer-readable device of claim 16 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more computing devices, further cause the one or more computing devices to:

receive an indication from the server that at least the document service is available.

18. The computer-readable device of claim 16 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more computing devices, further cause the one or more computing devices to:

activate the selectable icon in response to receiving the indication from the server that at least the document service is available.

19. The computer-readable device of claim 16 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more computing devices, further cause the one or more computing devices to:

configure the displayed document preparation software application based at least in part on the indication from the server that at least the document service is available.

20. The computer-readable device of claim 16 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more computing devices, further cause the one or more computing devices to:

receive the selectable icon from the server.
