Approach For Generating Print Data Using A Multi-Document Print Driver

摘要

A multi-document print driver allows a user to combine and edit application data containing content generated by multiple application programs in different formats. The multi-document print driver processes the application data from the application programs and generates a single print job that includes the content from the multiple applications and conforms to a common data format. A user may then edit the print job by re-arranging and/or deleting the content from the multiple applications. The multi-document print driver converts the print job from the common data format into a format that is compatible with a target printing device and sends the converted print job to the target printing device for printing. Thus, the final print job sent to the target printing device may include the content from the multiple applications according to an order and arrangement designated by the user and does not include the content that the user deleted.
