A system for automating the creation of a printing master and a cover template for a document so that the cover would perfectly wrap around the document to form a book. The system prepares the document for binding by setting up page-by-page printing instructions, scaling the document if required, and setting up a template for a cover. The system sets up printing instructions for the document by collecting instructions for each page "range" in the book. The operator of the application may specify the type of paper to be used for each of the page ranges and the printing format. Once the page range printing instructions have been specified, the system next determines the size requirements for the cover based on the size of the original file and the thickness of the document, which is based on the type of paper used and the number of pages involved for each type of paper. The application optimizes ("scales") the text and page size to fit within the cover. Finally, the system next creates three output files: (1) the formatted document, (2) a template for the cover, and (3) a job summary file. |
