Abstract: Sets of electronic pages (120) are typically obtained for processing with a defined order, such as a reader order, and can be referenced by a page index (131) corresponding to the defined order of the page set (130). However, a page index (131) may not correspond to the folio values represented in the page content, which describe a user's intended reference to the page (120). This invention provides a method for examining information associated with the set of pages to identify folio schemes (201) and corresponding folio values (203) which can be associated with pages (120) of the page set (130) to provide a more user-centric reference mechanism to the pages (120).

Abstract: A workflow system (100) prints jobs (102) by producing a layout (106) of pages selected from job queue (103) and providing the layout (106) to a printing process (111). Efficient layouts (106) can be quickly produced by selecting pages based on layout criteria, ordering them according to a prioritization scheme and using a level packing scheme that includes iteratively increasing a fit tolerance for levels and pages.

Abstract: Imposition software produces an imposition plan for a layout of printing elements (1). A nominal layout (10) including printing elements (1) with nominal displacements (12) identified. The imposition plan is optimized by reducing a displacement (12) between the printing elements (1). The amount that the displacement (12) can be reduced is determined by analyzing overlaps (22) in printing element content that may occur to ensure that the overlap (22) is beneficial.
