  • Publication number: 20200120223
    Abstract: A system and process are disclosed which provide users with a user-defined or custom-shaped print job from scanned data. A document may be scanned and an image object may be extracted from the scanned data which may be used as a print template from which the shape of a cut page is formed. Text and/or graphics may be applied to the page space occupied by the page shape area that will be cut. In an exemplary embodiment, the text and/or graphics may be automatically scaled or sized to fit within the boundary of the print template area. Once the page is cut, the text and/or graphics will automatically fit within the page's shape.
