摘要： Spooling strategies are described for producing job information that conforms to a hierarchical structure, and then storing the job information in a spool storage. The job information is then retrieved from the spool storage and consumed. The structured job information includes a multi-level hierarchy of nodes, including a job level that represents the entire job, a document level that represents a document to be processed within the job; a rendition level that represents a rendition of the document to be processed; and a page level that represents a page associated with the rendition. The hierarchical structure can also include resource nodes and metadata nodes associated with any level of the hierarchy, respectively representing resources and metadata. The hierarchy can optionally be composed using one or more selection and sequence parts. Program logic implements the production and consumption of the job information by providing a collection of logic modules for selectively adding and retrieving elements to the hierarchically structure. The program logic also provides logic for enumerating the contents of the job information and for signaling the occurrence of various events associated with the processing of the job information.

摘要： The described systems and methods are directed at enabling two filters to pass data between them in an efficient manner. In one aspect, an interface is provided to a filter for writing data associated with a file. The interface enables the filter to write data to a virtual file container simulated by the interface. The interface also enables another filter to read the data from the simulated file container. In this manner, an actual file container stored in a disk drive may not have to be created to pass data between filters.

摘要： In a described implementation, a production device, such as a computer, produces a shared resources container that includes shareable resources. Each resource of the shared resources container includes a part name and corresponding data. The production device downloads the shared resources container to a utilization device. The production device also formulates a job container, such as a print job. The production device analyzes resource usage of the job container during processing thereof. If a resource relevant to the job container is included in the shared resources container, the resource is excluded from the job container in lieu of a resource reference that is insert therefor. The production device also downloads the job container to the utilization device. At the utilization device, the job container is processed using the resource reference. Specifically, the resource reference is used to retrieve the associated resource from the shared resources container.

摘要： The described systems and methods are directed at converting a file with complex elements so that a legacy utilization device, such as a legacy printer, can properly process the file. The described systems may include a converter module with a modular filter pipeline. The converter module may identify elements with complex features in a file. Simpler features that approximate the complex features are determined. The identified elements in the file may be replaced with elements having the simpler features.

摘要： Pre-rendering conversion of graphical data can be provided within an image processing path. Om an example implementation, an image processing path includes an application, a graphics subsystem presenting a set of graphics primitives, and a device driver, which is associated with an imaging device. Computing system infrastructure is capable of detecting an incompatibility between the graphics subsystem and the device driver. When an incompatibility is detected, at least one conversion module is engaged to convert one or more graphics primitives in a first graphics subsystem-type format into one or more graphics primitives in a second driver-type format. The device driver can then render the one or more graphics primitives in the converted second driver-type format. A conversion module can be associated with, for example, the graphics subsystem or the device driver. Utilizing at least one conversion module can enable multiply graphics subsystem to interact with a single device driver.

摘要： Notification mechanisms for use in connection with print systems are described. In one embodiment, a notification mechanism extends from a printing application to the spooler, from the spooler to a hosting process, and back to the spooler. The notification mechanism can allow interested applications, such as print user interfaces, to register to receive updates on the progress of a print job. The notification mechanism provides a very rich and robust mechanism through which notifications can be generated and received.

摘要： Systems, methods, and/or techniques (“tools”) for providing document workflows and routing services using modular filters are described. In some aspects, the tools may initiate a workflow from a first modular processing filter within a pipeline of modular processing filters. The pipeline may be included within a device driver. The tools may also process the workflow using at least a second processing filter provided within the pipeline.
