Abstract
Print jobs may include errors, which may be difficult to resolve. In the embodiments described herein, data objects in print jobs are converted into printable features that show the underlying information in the print job, which allows for a visual inspection of the logical structures and relationships between the logical structures and print data objects in a printed output. One embodiment comprises a print controller that stores a first print job comprising one or more data objects, and print job commands that define the data objects for the first print job. The print controller processes the print job commands to identify the data objects for the first print job, and outlines and presentation positions specified for the data objects, and generates a second print job that graphically represents the outlines and the presentation positions of the data objects as graphical shapes, and provides the second print job.
