Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating electronic documents, including the steps of: receiving data from at least one application program, dividing the data into text data and graphics data, and generating at least one first file for storing at least a portion of the text data or graphics data, thereby creating an electronic document.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for generating electronic documents, comprising the steps of:
- receiving data from at least one application program;
- dividing the data into text data and graphics data;
- generating at least one first file for storing at least a portion of the text data or graphics data.
A computer system comprising:
- at least one server;
- and,
- at least one user computer coupled to the at least one server through a network,
- wherein the at least one server computer includes at least one program stored therein, said program performing the following steps:
- receiving data from at least one application program;
- dividing the data into text data and graphics data;
- and,
- generating at least one first file for storing at least a portion of the text data and graphics data.
A computer system comprising:
- at least one server computer;
- and, at least one user computer coupled to the at least one server computer through a network;
- wherein the at least one server computer and the at least one user computer each include at least one program stored therein for allowing the at least one server computer and the at least one user computer to communicate information over the network, said programs operating in conjunction with one another to perform the following steps:
- receiving data from at least one application program;
- dividing the data into text data and graphics data;
- and,
- generating at least one first file for storing at least a portion of the text data and graphics data.
A computer readable medium having embodied thereon a computer program for processing by a machine, the computer program comprising:
- a first code segment for receiving data from at least one application program;
- a second code segment for dividing the data into text data and graphics data;
- and,
- a third code segment for generating at least one first file for storing at least a portion of the text data and graphics data.
A computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave comprising:
- a first code segment for receiving data from at least one application program;
- a second code segment for dividing the data into text data and graphics data;
- and,
- a third code segment for generating at least one first file for storing at least a portion of the text data and graphics data.
A computer system comprising:
- an operating system operating on at least one computer;
- an application program operating on said at least one computer;
- an additional program for handling print requests from the application program using the operating system, said additional program manipulating at least one data stream generated by the application program to create a format independent document.
