Method for printing PDF files containing corrupted pages

摘要

A method for print portable document format (PDF) files with corrupted pages, comprising the steps of rasterizing images of non-corrupt pages but not corrupted pages of a PDF file, printing only non-corrupt pages of the PDF file, gathering and recording file and page information including which pages are non-corrupt pages and which pages are corrupted pages in the PDF file, allowing correction of the corrupted pages of the PDF file for reprint, retrieving saved file and page information for reprint of the PDF file. Based on the file and page information retrieved and print options and merge mode selected, the reprint process proceeds with rasterizing images of the corrected corrupted pages, and printing the corrected corrupted pages while merging with the already-printed non-corrupt pages to produce a complete set of print out of all non-corrupt pages and corrected corrupted pages of the PDF file in a correct sequence according to the file and page information retrieved.

主权项

1. A method implemented in a data processing apparatus for print portable document format (PDF) files with corrupted pages, comprising the steps of:
rasterizing images of all non-corrupt pages but not corrupted pages of a PDF file, the corrupted pages of the PDF file being pages of the PDF file that cannot be displayed or printed correctly; printing all of and only the non-corrupt pages of the PDF file; gathering and recording file and page information including which pages are non-corrupt pages and which pages are corrupted pages in the PDF file based solely on information in the PDF file; allowing correction of the corrupted pages of the PDF file for reprint; retrieving saved file and page information for reprint of the PDF file; based on the file and page information retrieved, rasterizing images of the corrected corrupted pages; and printing the corrected corrupted pages while merging with the already-printed non-corrupt pages to produce a complete set of print out of all non-corrupt pages and corrected corrupted pages of the PDF file in a correct sequence according to the file and page information retrieved.
