Abstract

Systems and methods according to the present invention provide the capability to identify, record and employ object reuse in print jobs. Reuse information, e.g., a number of instances of a particular object and/or the pages wherein the object is used, is identified as part of print job processing. Subsequent printing process, e.g., object caching and print job partitioning, can then use the reuse information.
