Abstract
Print objects (38) are captured. In the process of capturing each of the print objects (38) a user input gesture (34) over a region of a document (18) being rendered on a display (16) in accordance with a structured object specification (20) of the document (18) is received; an element of the structured object specification (20) being rendered within an active area of the user input gesture (34) on the display (16) is identified; the user input gesture (34) is interpreted as a print content designation command; and the print object (38) is derived from the structured object specification (20) in accordance with the identified element of the structured object specification (20) and the print content designation command. A print layout (32) of the print objects (38) on one or more pages (50) is determined. The print layout (32) is outputted.
