Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining and preparing a plurality of production ready variable data print jobs from variable data print data which defines the layout and product intent data for a plurality of Instance Documents. Each of the Instance Documents contains a plurality of page definitions. Each production ready print job is determined based on a set of common characteristics that allow for a particular workflow configuration to efficiently produce it.

Abstract: A run length compression technique, that raster image processes page elements into a plurality of groups of raster data and analyzes the groups of raster data for a predetermined set of parameters. An assignment of compression states is made in accordance with results of the analysis for characteristics of transparency, constancy of a value for the groups of raster data, or features within the groups that should not be compressed.

Abstract: A Finish Verification system used within a Variable Data Printing system that enables all of the sheets of a PPML/VDX job to be reliably tracked throughout the printing system such that any documents that are not properly finished are automatically detected and setup for re-print. A unique bar code on each sheet of a PPML/VDX job is read by a finishing device and compared to a Finish Verification File to verify that all of the required pages comprise each finished booklet. If any error prevents manufacturing any finished documents, a pre-press software application receives this information via an updated Finish Verification File and produces a new PPML/VDX job consisting of just the instance documents that need to be re-printed.

Abstract translation: 在可变数据打印系统中使用的完成验证系统，使得能够在整个打印系统中可靠地跟踪PPML / VDX作业的所有纸张，以便自动检测并设置重新打印的任何未正确完成的文档。 PPML / VDX作业的每张纸上的唯一条形码由整理设备读取，并与完成验证文件进行比较，以验证所有必需的页面是否包含每个已完成的小册子。 如果任何错误阻止制造任何完成的文档，预压软件应用程序通过更新的完成验证文件接收此信息，并生成一个新的PPML / VDX作业，仅包含需要重新打印的实例文档。

Abstract: A method and structure for automatically preparing a scatter proof of a personalized print job that analyzes a personalized print job file to identify recurring content elements, extracts the recurring content elements, and arranges the recurring content elements to generate a scatter proof print image. The method for extracting selects a subset of the recurring content elements to be extracted and arranged on the scatter proof print image. The method further generates meta data associated with the personalized print job that indicates which content elements are the recurring content elements. The meta data is contained within the personalized print job. The method provides user input to determine which of the recurring content elements will be included in the subset. The user input includes information as to data type, object complexity, object predominance, and frequency of object occurrence.

Abstract translation: 一种用于自动准备个性化打印作业的分散证明的方法和结构，所述个性化打印作业分析个性化打印作业文件以识别重复出现的内容元素，提取循环内容元素，并且布置循环内容元素以生成散点印刷图像。 提取方法选择要提取并排列在散射防范印刷图像上的循环内容元素的子集。 该方法还生成与个性化打印作业相关联的元数据，其指示哪些内容元素是重复的内容元素。 元数据包含在个性化打印作业中。 该方法提供用户输入以确定哪个循环内容元素将被包括在该子集中。 用户输入包括关于数据类型，对象复杂性，对象优势和对象发生频率的信息。

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preparing a Variable Data Print job for printing, having a plurality of documents that are to be printed wherein, each of the documents are defined by variant elements related to content, layout and product intent. Groups are created and defined by a commonality of variants within the document relating to layout and product intent. At least one parameter that relates to the variants is used as a selection criteria to form a plurality of sub-groups. The sub-groups are then arranged for printing according to the form of selection criteria.
