Abstract
A printing device receives a document to print directly from a device. The document is converted into a portable document format (PDF) file. The PDF converter separates the document into different groups that are processed separately to generate multiple PDF files for the document. The PDF files include a first page file and subsequent files for one or more pages separated according to criteria, such as page complexity or size. The separate PDF file is sent to the PDF interpreter to be printed without waiting for the subsequent data within the document.
