Abstract
An approach that prepares an electronic document of continuous information for document exchange that simultaneously supports continuous and page-by-page printing is described. In one embodiment, there is an electronic document generator tool for document exchange that includes an input component configured to receive input with respect to preparing the electronic document of continuous information for continuous and page-by-page printing. The input comprises an indication to represent the electronic document of continuous information in a page-based file format for document exchange and an indication of target page sizes with respective unprintable margins that are desired for printing the electronic document of continuous information. A printable area customization component is configured to customize the electronic document of continuous information into a page-by-page electronic document that is suitable for both continuous and page-by-page printing without loss of information, scale changes and/or gaps of continuity. The printable area customization component is configured to determine a custom page size that represents the continuous information and prints to the target page …
