  • Methods and systems for treating overflow conditions and for re-sizing printable content
    Patent number: 9465775
    Abstract: Various embodiments evaluate content that is to be printed and ascertain whether the content is going to overflow or be “orphaned” onto a second page when printed. If some content will create an orphan when printed, then the content is scaled to fit onto a single page when printed. In some embodiments, the content is simply proportionally scaled to fit onto a single page. In other embodiments, the content is further processed to scale it in a manner that makes intelligent use of the white space on the printed page.
