Abstract

A technique for easily creating and proofing customized printed material before printing on a production printing system. A user may connect with an internet web site provided by a commercial printing service and select from a plurality of available templates for the printed material. The user can then select additional stored information to be included in the customized printed material, or can input variable information through a keyboard or the like. A portable document format (PDF) builder generates a dynamic PDF file from the selected template and the selected or variable data from the user. The dynamic file can then be displayed at the front end to provide an accurate view of how the printed material would look. Additionally, a hard copy proofing version of the printed material may be printed at the front end. Once the layout of the printed material is confirmed, a production printing system is used to print multiple copies of the customized printed material.

Description

The devices and methods therefor that is used for long-range generation and editor's high-quality customization material
Background of invention
The present invention relates to a kind of long-range generation and editor high-quality customization document or other printed materials of being used for printing to the method on the central instrument based on the editor's image that shows, and the device that can be used for carrying out this method.More particularly, the present invention relates to utilize the reference information of sample format, storage and the technology that user input data generates the customization printed material.
Background technology
People are desirably in the modern print system, permit a user to specific demand customization printed material at an easy rate.For example, user can select the image stored and they and the input text of user's appointment and the reference content of storage are combined to produce a point of sale (POS) demonstration or other similar materials.This class " on-demand " system has increased the dirigibility of producing and has simplified design process.Growing along with Internet importance and availability realizes that the possibility of this class " on-demand " system increases very soon.
For example, the retail chain of country often will use a large amount of point of sales to show in their shop.These point of sales show to be printed to order goods and be distributed to different shops by commercial print service typically uses.Commercial or the tissue of the other types that frequent use point of sale shows comprises to distributor's network, cell phone service provider, commercial guild and other allied organizations provides the Sofe drink bottle manufacturer of publicity materials or main beer manufacturer.
Certainly, the demand of customization printed material has exceeded the point of sale demonstration.For example, directly the direct marketing by mail personnel use commercial leaflet and the complimentary ticket that sends to the client of hope by mail continually.The schemer of incident and promoter may need printed material to initiate concert, sport event, live theatrical performances and other incidents.Similarly, different tissues often utilize client's printed material to announce symposial, annual meeting and other similar meetings.In other words, may using of customization printed material is actually unlimited.
Client's publicity materials change often weekly (even more frequent).Normally the user needs these materials or knows desired variation in the urgent moment in the short period scope in addition.Therefore, expectation provides a system that generates the customization document, has the optimum dirigibility in the design, and initiates effectively by the printed material that allows user's generation easily in a session, verification and editor client.
The customization printed material especially when ordering in a large number, may expend mint of money.Product guarantees that the design of customization printed material is gratifying before particularly importantly will and paying in a large amount of print job operations.If this design was not verified before printing, produce extra cost possibly and redesign and print order, perhaps the user will be forced to the product that reception is not last optimization.Like this, expect that a kind of accurate and simple technology came the printed material of verification customization before confirming the print job order.Utilize the different print capacities of existing XLC printing technique can be used to prove the application of on-demand.The user can be connected on the Web website of an Internet and by providing some variablees or selectable data (with generating a form based on the layout instruction) to ask a publication in such system.Final document is used for the printing of back by collecting.Possible option can be produced from the database of the special data that comprises reference content, some other objects and low resolution and high-resolution image (image if desired).
After these data were provided, such system can then construct dynamic HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) page to be observed and verification by internet browser.These pages can be configured on the reference content that the user selects from main html page.Can be used to construct the dynamic HTML page by the image of the low resolution of reference.Yet it is difficult attempting to imitate the true layout that finally is printed document because the HTML standard the page that makes html page and up-to-date printing outside epiphase coupling be conditional.And the difference of appearance often depends on equipment, and changes with user's difference.
Be identified if select, but be provided in the XLC system by the option record that the variable data (name, address etc.) that the reference content and the user of alternative in the database (comprising image) provides is formed, carry out final printing with the high-resolution picture that uses model information, this record reference with from the variable data of these records.
A problem of this system be the page that prints not always with the user based on viewed the same on the html page.Its product is the different of the final product and the imagination, and the client need redesign the material that is printed---expend time in, money and effort.Correspondingly, the option that they can accurately be shown before order is sent out printing is that what kind of check system is very superior when printing.
One virtual image editing system is openly announced Vol.39 in the technology of IBM, and No.8 was illustrated in (in August, 1996).In brief, this image processing system that is disclosed comprises an image server and a visual client.This image server provides the quick image printing function of one scan function, pictorial data storage, the data-switching ability that generates a simplification image and use original image data.This image client can be visited this simplification image and be edited image with user interactions.The image client is never visited original high quality image, and by the simplification image of image conversion program display from the image server acquisition.In case when the printing demand was arranged, the original high quality image that is stored in the server was used by image server.
Summary of the invention
