METHOD, PRINTING SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR GENERATING AND PROCESSING DOCUMENT DATA STREAMS

摘要

The invention relates to a method, a printing system and a computer program for generating a page-by-page serially structured document data stream of a first format. The first page of a multi-page document can be completely and successfully parsed in this format before document data of the subsequent pages are parsed. Document data of a second format which comprise several pages of a document, common settings and/or resources applying to the pages, are connected to the document data stream. A separate type field is provided in the document data stream of the first format and shows that coherent document data comprising several pages are connected to the document data stream.
