Each page of the document file, and at the same time, use each page as a unit to directly adjust the page to the required order and position on the main page.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the online printing system for paged documents provided by the preferred embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a web server 10 , a database server 20 , a storage server 30 , and a conversion server 40, and a print server 50. The web server 10 is used for processing various requests generated by the user through the main web page 60, managing document files, uploading document files, and various services related to document printing, ordering, and membership management. The uploaded files are files related to the software package of Microsoft (MICROSOFT OFFICE) in the United States (with extensions as doc, ppt, xls), picture files (with extensions as jpg, png and other similar formats), and compatible with Adobe Portable The file format file (file extension pdf) is used as an example.

The database server 20 is used to record the user's operation records of the main webpage 60 , such as adjusting the page order, deleting pages, rotating the pages, etc., and also recording the file conversion records uploaded by the user. The storage server 30 is used for storing the document files that the user has finished uploading and adjusted the page order to meet the printing requirements.

The file conversion server 40 is used to process the document file uploaded by the user into a print file with pages as a unit according to the printing logic. In this preferred embodiment, the converted print file is in pdf format as an example. The above printing logic may be to perform color gamut, text font, bitmap (raster), vector image (vector), or border conversion on the document file, and filter out whether the document file contains unprintable content. The conversion server 40 not only converts the document file into a printed file (pdf format) with pages as a unit as described above, but also generates an image file for previewing on the main web page 60 .

The printing server 50 is used to generate printing files that match the user's operation request and actual printing production needs, for example, according to the front cover and the inner page to be printed, the back cover printing file and the inner page printing file are respectively generated, and marking and printing Production process, order management and other data.

The method of the present invention applying the aforementioned page-type document online printing system is schematically shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 8 . The method provided by the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

1. The main webpage 60 is provided as the main user interface of the present invention. The main webpage 60 of the preferred embodiment sequentially displays the selected files, previews, and columns of the present invention in a concise, easy-to-read, and easy-to-use manner. Printing and other main operation steps.

2. The user clicks the file selection block 62 of the main page 60 to select the file to be printed. The number of the file is not limited. The selected file 64 can be found in the file of the main page 60 as shown in FIG. 4 . The list area 66 displays the file name, file format, file size, and management items such as adding and deleting files. After confirming that the correct file 64 is selected, the user can click on the preview page block 68 to let the file 64 The import is uploaded to the storage server 30 .

3. After the storage server 30 receives the file file 64 uploaded by the user, the file file 64 is converted into a print file with the page 70 as a unit by the file conversion server 40 , as shown in FIG. 5 , the preview of the main webpage 60 The functional block 72 is available for the user to view and present the printed file in the form of an e-book preview. If the user wants to adjust the page order of the printed file, he can select from the preview functional block 72 to switch the printed file to the one shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 . Each page 70 displays a preview image file individually. As shown in FIG. 7 , the user can move and adjust the position of the page 70 to be changed, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the order of the pages. The file conversion record uploaded by the user, the adjustment of the page order 70 , the deletion of the page 70 , and the rotation of the page 70 by the user operating the main webpage 60 are all recorded in the database server 20 .

4. If the user completes uploading all the document files and adjusts the page order to meet the printing requirements, the storage server 30 can store the printing file edited by the user, and click the print area as shown in FIG. 3 according to the user Block 74 prints the print file as a printed paper.

The present invention utilizes the above-mentioned system and method, which allows users to directly upload the document files to be printed to the cloud and print out the printed paper, and the user can easily merge and preview each page 70 of all document files on the main webpage 60 . , each page 70 can also directly adjust the page order and position on the main webpage 60 to achieve the purpose of the present invention.

It is worth mentioning that the conversion server 40 of the present invention can automatically generate a front cover, a back cover, or a remark page as shown in FIG. 6 , FIG. 7 , and FIG. 8 , so that the printing server 50 can generate the front cover according to the printing requirements Bottom printing file and inner page printing file. Furthermore, before the file is converted by the conversion server 40, the file format of the file will be individually converted and a preview image will be generated. If an error occurs during the conversion process, for example, the file conversion fails, the object conversion occurs and the image is dropped. If the word is dropped or the document file has unprintable objects such as video, music, annotation, etc., the object will be removed or skipped. After the conversion server 40 is successfully converted, the converted preview image and the print file will be stored. Alternatively, if the conversion process finds unprintable objects, the present invention can feedback to the user that the document file needs to be modified, or directly display the unprintable objects in the preview, but still does not affect the overall printing process.
