Abstract
A computer generated method disclosed. The method includes receiving a print job including a plurality of print files, processing a first resource in a first print file by determining if the name of the first resource matches a name of a previously processed resource, determining if data within the first resource matches data within a previously processed resource if the name of the first resource matches the name of the previously processed resource and renaming the first resource if the data within the first resource does not match data within the previously processed resource.
Claims17
A computer generated method comprising:
- receiving a print job including a plurality of print files;
- processing a first resource in a first print file by determining if the name of the first resource matches a name of a previously processed resource;
- determining if data within the first resource matches data within a previously processed resource if the name of the first resource matches the name of the previously processed resource;
- renaming the first resource if the data within the first resource does not match data within the previously processed resource;
- determining if the first resource is identical to a previously renamed resource on a renamed resources list if the name of the first resource matches a name of a previously processed resource;
- and
- renaming the first resource using the name of the identical resource on the renamed resources list.
A print server comprising a printing software product that receives a print job including a plurality of print files, processes a first resource in a first print file by determining if the name of the first resource matches a name of a previously processed resource, determines if data within the first resource matches data within a previously processed resource if the name of the first resource matches the name of the previously processed resource;
- renames the first resource if the data within the first resource does not match data within the previously processed resource, determines if the first resource is identical to a previously renamed resource on a renamed resources list prior to determining if the name of the first resource matches a name of a previously processed resource and renames the first resource using the name of the identical resource on the renamed resources list if the first resource is identical to a previously renamed resource.
An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory machine-readable medium including data that, when accessed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a print job including a plurality of print files;
- processing a first resource in a first print file by determining if the name of the first resource matches a name of a previously processed resource;
- determining if data within the first resource matches data within a previously processed resource if the name of the first resource matches the name of the previously processed resource;
- renaming the first resource if the data within the first resource does not match data within the previously processed resource;
- determining if the first resource is identical to a previously renamed resource on a renamed resources list if the name of the first resource matches a name of a previously processed resource;
- and
- renaming the first resource using the name of the identical resource on the renamed resources list.
