Methods and systems for electronically gathering and organizing printable information

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and systems for manipulating and combining files from different applications without the use of the files' originating applications. Application files are collected and converted to a page-format which preserves the visual aspects and page formatting of the application file. A composer application is then used to manipulate and reorganize the pages of the files as needed. Pages from files created by different applications may be compiled into a single document which can be printed or electronically transmitted without manual editing or delivery.
