  • Patent number: 9235559
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide an ability to load documents and access page content associated with documents while the documents are still being loaded. In at least some embodiments, while a document's structure is being processed in the background, individual pages can be requested. The same can be said for individual documents that comprise a part of a package that contains multiple documents. In at least some embodiments, multiple threads are utilized to enable a document's structure to be built and to enable a user to access portions of the document while the document is being built or loaded.

  • Patent number: 8363232
    Abstract: Spooling strategies are described for producing job information that conforms to a hierarchical structure, and then storing the job information in a spool storage. The job information is then retrieved from the spool storage and consumed. The structured job information includes a multi-level hierarchy of nodes, including a job level that represents the entire job, a document level that represents a document to be processed within the job; a rendition level that represents a rendition of the document to be processed; and a page level that represents a page associated with the rendition. The hierarchical structure can also include resource nodes and metadata nodes associated with any level of the hierarchy, respectively representing resources and metadata. The hierarchy can optionally be composed using one or more selection and sequence parts.

  • Patent number: 7634775
    Abstract: In a described implementation, a production device, such as a computer, produces a shared resources container that includes shareable resources. Each resource of the shared resources container includes a part name and corresponding data. The production device downloads the shared resources container to a utilization device. The production device also formulates a job container, such as a print job. The production device analyzes resource usage of the job container during processing thereof. If a resource relevant to the job container is included in the shared resources container, the resource is excluded from the job container in lieu of a resource reference that is insert therefor. The production device also downloads the job container to the utilization device. At the utilization device, the job container is processed using the resource reference. Specifically, the resource reference is used to retrieve the associated resource from the shared resources container.
