ADAPTIVE FORM PRINTING

摘要

A method for form processing in a data processing system comprises creating a computer-readable template of a form having a feature designed for automatic dropout in an automated form processing system. Embedded software code is added to the template. The embedded code is configured, when running on a data processing apparatus, to determine printing attributes of an output device connected to the data processing apparatus and to modify the feature of the form responsively to the printing attributes and to a dropout capability of the form processing system. The template is provided to the data processing apparatus, thus causing the data processing apparatus to print the form having the modified feature using the output device.
