Abstract
A filter interface allows a filter to send extracted attribute information extracted from the master document data to a server. The server then stores the received attribute information into an attribute database.
Claims18
A system for extracting attribute data from master document data and providing the extracted attribute data to a server, comprising:
- a filter that generates printer-ready data and extracts attribute data from at least the master document data;
- and
- an interface that provides at least the master document data from the server to the filter, the interface providing the printer-ready data and the extracted attribute data from the filter to the server.
A system for extracting attribute data from master document data and providing the extracted attribute data to a server, comprising:
- filtering means for generating printer-ready data and for extracting attribute data from at least the master document data;
- and
- interface means for providing at least the master document data from the server to the filtering means and for providing the printer-ready data and the extracted attribute data from the filtering means to the server.
A method for extracting attribute data from master document data and providing the extracted attribute data to a server, comprising:
- providing at least the master document data from the server to a filter interface;
- providing at least the master document data from the filter interface to a filter;
- using the filter to generate printer-ready data from at least the master document data;
- using the filter to extract the attribute data from at least the master document data;
- providing the printer-ready data and the extracted attribute data from the filter to the filter interface;
- and
- providing the printer-ready data and the extracted attribute data from the filter interface to the server.
