Abstract
A system for determining the sequence and placement of pages for a multiple-page document. A user selects a number of pages on each side of a sheet. A total number of pages is defined for a document. An initial value is set for a sheet index that counts each sheet in the document. A current page (F) for a current sheet is then defined. A total number of sheets in the document (S) is calculated by dividing the total number of pages for the document by a total number of pages on one sheet. A total number of sheets remaining after the current sheet (Sl) is calculated by using the equation: S-(sheet index+1). A set of coefficients C1, C2, and C3 is selected for the current page based on the number of pages on each sheet side. A current page number is calculated for the current page by using the equation: C1+F+C2*S+C3*Sl. The current page number for the current page is recorded. Selecting a set of coefficients, calculating a current page number, and recording the current page number are repeated for each remaining page on the current sheet. When all of the remaining pages are on the current sheet have been determined, the sheet index is incremented. Finally, for each remaining sheet, th…
