A method for handling a document comprising a combination of pages, the method comprising:

• receiving a print command from a user for printing the document, wherein the document comprises a combination of one or more pages to be secured and one or more normal pages, wherein the pages are in a pre-defined order;
• providing a user interface to the user:
• having an option to provide an input on one or more pages to be secured;
• and
• having an option to provide an input on the arrangement of the one or more secure and normal pages;
• upon receiving the inputs, sending the document and the received inputs for printing to a multi-function device;
• based on the received inputs, identifying the one or more secure pages and normal pages from the document;
• based on the identification, printing the normal pages of the document till completion;
• initiating printing of the identified one or more secure pages of the document, upon receiving an authentication information from the user;

A system for handling a document comprising a combination of pages, the system comprising:

• a print driver running on a computing device for:
• receiving a print command from a user for printing a document, wherein the document comprises a combination of pages to be secured and normal pages;
• providing a user interface:
• including an option to provide an input on one or more pages to be secured;
• and
• including an option to provide an input on the arrangement of the one or more pages to be secured and normal pages;
• upon receiving the inputs, sending the document and the received inputs for printing to a multi-function device;
• and
• the multi-function device is for:
• based on the received inputs, identifying the one or more secure pages and normal pages from the document;
• initiating printing of the normal pages of the document;
• initiating printing of the identified one or more secure pages of the document based on an authentication information from the user;
• and
• based on the input on the arrangement of the one or more pages to be secured and normal pages, rearranging the pages such that the combined printed pages are in order.

A multi-function device for securing one or more individual pages of a document, the multi-function device is for:

• receiving a print job from a user, comprising tagging of one or more pages to be secured and remaining pages as normal pages;
• based on the tagging, separating the one or more pages to be secured from the normal pages:
• printing the normal pages without requiring any authentication information;
• printing the one or more pages to be secured, upon receiving an authentication information from the user;
• and
• rearranging the printed one or more secure pages and the printed normal pages based on an input from the user, resulting in a complete ordered print job.
