<p>A computer implemented method includes the steps of: a) generating a template PDL (14) specification defining how the template data is to appear on a printed page; b) generating a plurality of sub-templates PDL (15) specifications; c) interpreting the template specification so as to generate bitmap or commands (display list); d) saving the bitmap or commands into memory; e) associating the variable data identifier with the sub-template specifications; f) accessing a first sub-template specification; g) processing the first sub-template specification to generate bitmap or commands; h) accessing the bitmap or commands; and i) merging plurality of rendering commands (16), if necessary. The steps may be repeated, as necessary, to generate a plurality of merged bitmaps.</p> |
