Abstract:

A printing system in which multiple images are positioned on multiple special electronic pages is provided. The printing system includes an interpreter which reads a stream written in a page description language (PDL). Upon reading a first portion of the PDL stream, a position indicator is established to indicate where a first one of the multiple images is to be positioned on a first one of the multiple special electronic pages. In response to reading a second portion of the PDL stream, the position indicator is used to automatically indicate where a second one of the multiple images is to be positioned on a second one of the multiple special electronic pages.
