Abstract
The method of printing an electronic document comprises a step (E1) of constructing groups of recordings of graphical instructions forming an information block of the document, a step (E6, E30-E33) of dividing these groups into a minimum number of sub-groups adapted to be printed respectively on single sheets after enlargement; and a step (E9, E36) of printing the document after enlargement from the main print file (EM F) and related print files. Use notably for printing a poster.
Claims22
Method of rearranging an electronic document (200) with a view to subsequent processing, the electronic document comprising a set of recordings of graphical instructions (O1, O2), characterised in that it includes the following steps:
- constructing (E1) at least one group (S) of recordings of graphical instructions, a first recording of graphical instructions (O1) belonging to a group (S) if there exists at least a second recording of graphical instructions (O2) in said group (S) juxtaposing or intersecting the first recording of graphical instructions (O1);
- and
- dividing (E6, E30, E33) the group of recordings of graphical instructions (S) into a minimum number of subgroup or subgroups of recordings of graphical instructions, each subgroup of recordings of graphical instructions being adapted to be processed on an entity with a predetermined format.
Device for rearranging an electronic document (200) with a view to subsequent processing, the electronic document comprising a set of recordings of graphical instructions (O1, O2), characterised in that it comprises:
- means (100, 101, 102) of constructing at least one group (S) of recordings of graphical instructions, a first recording of graphical instructions (O1) belonging to a group (S) if there exists at least a second recording of graphical instructions (O2) in said group (S) juxtaposing or intersecting the first recording of graphical instructions (O1);
- and
- means (100, 101, 102) of dividing the group of recordings of graphical instructions (S) into a minimum number of subgroup or groups of recordings of graphical instructions, each subgroup of recordings of graphical instructions being adapted to be processed on an entity with a predetermined format.
