Abstract
A printing system, including a user interface for programming an electronic job ticket with a plurality of instructions to process a first electronic document, is provided. The printing system further includes an emitter for converting the first electronic document, with the electronic job ticket, into a second electronic document written in a page description language, the second electronic document including respective page description language representations of a selected instruction and a selected electronic page. The second electronic document is transmitted from the emitter to a printing machine where the second electronic document is interpreted with a job decomposer to create an output-ready document. In practice, the decomposer performs an image processing operation, on the page description language representation of the selected electronic page, with the page description language representation of the selected instruction of the second electronic document.
