摘要

A method for validating a splitting operation accesses a document and a catalog tree. The method selects a subset of the total pages in the document. The method splits a section of branches from the catalog tree using a splitter in a user device. Each branch corresponds to a page included in the subset. The method processes the subset using the branches to generate split output pages. The method analyzes each split output page to determine if the file split correctly. In response to a split failure, the method determines if the split failure is related to one of a structure error and a metadata syntax error. In response to a correct split, the method provides the print job to an associated output device in communication with the user device.

1. A method for validating splitting of a document using a particular output device technology, the method comprising:
accessing at a client computer a file representing a previously created document; accessing a catalog tree residing in the document and including metadata corresponding with a job ticket embedded in the file for rendering the document; selecting a subset of the total pages in the document; splitting a section of branches from the catalog tree using a splitter in a user device, each branch corresponding to a page included in the subset; processing the subset using the branches to generate split output pages; analyzing each split output page to determine if the file split correctly; in response to a split failure, determining if the split failure is related to one of a structure error and a metadata syntax error; and, in response to a correct split, providing the print job to an associated output device in communication with the user device.
