Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus for intelligent document saving. An intelligent document saving method can include cropping a document to frame a changed portion of the document and saving only content framed by the cropping. Notably, the cropping step can include maintaining watermarks in the document to demarcate unchanged portions from both the start and the end of the document and, consequently, a starting and ending position in the document of the changed portion. The position of the watermarks can be repeatedly updated whenever changes are performed to the document.
