  • Publication number: 20140115449
    Abstract: Some embodiments described herein provide a content publishing tool that includes a document-sampling tool for generating a sample document from a full-length document. In some embodiments, the document-sampling tool allows a publisher to identify a section of a document and generate a sample document that includes a selection of pages from that section. The sample document may be generated using a predefined percentage of the pages of the section up to a maximum of a predefined number of pages. The heuristics of the sample generation may also specify that the sample document include a minimum of some number of pages.
