  • Patent number: 5793938
    Abstract: A computer-aided document printing management system for the seamless transmission and reproduction of documents, created in digital format at a computer terminal, at a remote high-speed printing facility. The documents are reformatted and compressed into a cross-platform format with all resources for printing necessary at the facility. The documents and an electronic work order entered at the computer terminal are compressed into a single electronic folder for transmission to the printing facility, where it is decompressed and separated into work order and job databases for printing according to the instructions therein. The reformatted documents may be previewed before transmission to the facility, audited for compression integrity at both the computer terminal and at the facility, and the files maintained in a central storage facility after the work order is completed.
