Abstract: Systems and methods are described that facilitate parallel processing of PDF documents for printing, wherein the PDF documents comprise transparency effects. Transparent objects in the PDF document are identified, and the document is divided into subgroups of pages. The transparency objects are then flattened to enable conversion to PostScript format. The PostScript pages are processed and rendered to raster for printing.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are configured to manage the language used for documentation in a multi-function device (MFD). They include providing a message to a user, the message comprising a selection to choose a language as part of the initialization of the MFD. They also include receiving an input including the language chosen by the user. They further include determining if the language chosen by the user matches a default language in the MFD and modifying code associated with settings in electronic documentation to enable use of the language chosen by the user during the initialization in place of the default language in the electronic documentation when it is determined that the language chosen by the user does not match the default language, the electronic documentation providing information to the user for operation of the MFD.

Abstract: Techniques for automated application footprint discovery for application migration to containers are described. A snapshot of an application instance can be stored, the snapshot including the application instance and resources used by the application instance at runtime. The application instance can be run in an intermediate virtual machine, the intermediate virtual machine including at least one interceptor. At least one dependency of the application instance can be determined using the at least one interceptor while the application instance executes on the intermediate virtual machine. A template including the at least one dependency can be created and an application environment can be generated using the template.

Abstract: A method of determining placement of an input indicator on an electronic fillable form may include identifying, by an electronic device, a confidence map associated with an electronic fillable form. The confidence map may include, for one or more fillable fields of the electronic fillable form, a set of coordinates that define an area associated with each of one or more zones. The method may include receiving, by the electronic device, a selection of a portion of the electronic fillable form associated with one or more selection coordinates of the electronic fillable form, identifying a zone to which the selection coordinates correspond, and causing an input indicator to be displayed in a fill zone associated with the identified zone.

Abstract: To print a certified document, a user may select or a system may receive a selection of a document to be certified. The system identifies a security template to be used based on the document and/or capabilities of the print device on which the document will be printed. The system may display the document with a non-secure overlay of the selected security template, add a unique security element to the document according to the template, and cause the document to be printed at the selected print device with the added security element without permitting the added security element to be fully displayed or printed on any other device.

Abstract: Described herein is a method to encode infrared (IR) security watermarks using a named color dictionary within a PDL in a device independent manner. A set of colors is chosen that lies within the common gamut of printing devices and then defined in a device-independent color space. For each color and output device, a metameric pair of device colorant values corresponding to minimum and maximum black (K) is obtained using inversion techniques. These extremes are selected in order to obtain the maximum perceivable IR signal. The metameric pair sets are processed to extract a smaller subset that satisfies certain criteria, including bounds on the K difference, total ink area coverage, and deviation from the neutral axis. The final data is then stored in resource files that link fixed device-independent IR color names to pairs of variable device-dependent colorant values.
