Abstract
Ordered binder document sections having different file formats stored within a binder file. The binder file maintains the order of binder document sections and the native file format of each section. The binder program module can dispatch the underlying application program modules that created each binder document section to print the binder document sections as a single uninterrupted print job. In this manner, selected sections of a binder document can be printed as a single consecutively printed document without having other print jobs interrupting or intervening between printed sections of the binder document.
