Description

  The present invention relates to a system and method for creating an electronic document for printing that is a source of printed matter sent to a plurality of customers.

  In recent years, in various organizations such as banks and public works such as gas and water, it is necessary to print and issue usage details etc. to each customer on a monthly or yearly basis. In this case, the process of printing / sending processing is advanced, such as using an automatic enclosing / sealing device after printing.

  Conventionally, there is a system described in Patent Document 1 as a system for rationalizing this kind of processing. This system “combines all the pages in all print data files of all the plurality of customers (S1), classifies the combined total pages by the number of impositions (S2), and appropriately prints with multiple impositions. (S3), the combined total page is printed in multiple imposition on the imposition area, and is cut for each imposition block in the superimposed state after printing, and the imposition blocks are overlapped. When a single block is used, all pages are laid out in correspondence with each customer so that the pages for each customer are arranged in order (S4). As a single print data file It is configured to send to the print processing system (S5).

  By the way, in this conventional system, the allocation of the pages of the electronic document for printing (“single print data file”) is performed by combining all the pages in all the print data files of a plurality of customers, and then by imposition number. This is done by segmenting.

  Therefore, although the composition of the printed matter printed based on the created electronic document for printing is grouped for each customer page, it is only divided by the number of impositions. For printed matter, the contents, number of pages, and page order could not be set or changed freely.

Therefore, it is difficult to configure the printed matter to be sent to each customer according to each customer's request. Also, after creating the electronic document for printing, changes in the number of destination customers, etc. When there was a need to change the contents of printed materials and the number of pages sent to, we had to start over from the first step.
JP-A-2005-313522

  Therefore, the present invention makes it easy to configure the printed matter to be sent to each customer according to each customer's request, and after creating the electronic document for printing, It is an object of the present invention to provide a printing electronic document creation system and method that can easily cope with the need to change the contents of printed matter and the number of pages sent to each customer.

  The electronic document creation system for printing according to the present invention is a system for creating an electronic document for printing C that is the basis of printed matter sent to a plurality of customers, and is independent of content data A0 relating to the contents of the printed matter. According to the contents of the control data M1 created, according to the contents of the customer group page order assigning means 1 for assigning the page order within the customer group to the content data A0 for each customer group corresponding to each customer, according to the contents of the control data M1. According to the contents of the customer group selection / sorting means 2 for selecting and rearranging the customer groups as necessary, and the contents of the control data M1, the contents data A0 organized for each customer group is organized to create the electronic document C for printing. The knitting means 3 is provided.

  The content data A0 is provided in the form of an electronic document. Based on the content of the control data M1, the electronic document B2 that can take in the content data A0 is generated, and the organizing means 3 generates the control data M1 from the control data M1. The content data A0 can be taken into the electronic document B2 and organized.

  Further, it is assumed that at least a part of the content data A0 in the print electronic document C is described so as not to be visually recognized in the printed matter at the time of sending, and this is extracted to organize the print electronic document C. It can be used as information.

  The electronic document creation method for printing according to the present invention is a method for creating an electronic document for printing C that is a source of printed matter sent to a plurality of customers by a computer, and is mutually associated with content data A0 relating to the contents of the printed matter. In accordance with the contents of the control data M1 created independently, the step of assigning the page order in the customer group to the content data A0 for each customer group corresponding to each customer, the customer according to the contents of the control data M1 as necessary A step of selecting and rearranging groups, and a step of organizing content data A0 collected for each customer group according to the contents of the control data M1 to create an electronic document for printing C. After the creation of the document C, if it becomes necessary to update the contents of the electronic document C for printing, the customer group After executing the step of performing steps or customer groups selected and rearrangement imparting page order in the-loop, it is assumed to perform the step of creating the print electronic document C.

  The printing electronic document creation system and method of the present invention has the above-described configuration, and means (step) for assigning page order within the customer group to the content data A0, and if necessary, the customer group Prints to be sent to each customer by means (step) for selecting and rearranging and means (step) for creating the electronic document C for printing by organizing the content data A0 collected for each customer group, It is easy to make the configuration according to each customer's request, and after creating the electronic document C for printing, change of increase / decrease of destination customers, change of contents of printed matter and number of pages sent to each customer Even when it is necessary to perform the above, it is possible to easily cope with it.

  Further, since the control data M1 and the content data A0 are created independently of each other, the contents of each data can be changed independently, and the responsibility for creation / change of each data can be clearly defined. It becomes possible to do.

  Assume that the content data A0 is provided in the form of an electronic document. Based on the content of the control data M1, the electronic document B2 that can take in the content data A0 is generated, and the organizing unit 3 generates the control data M1 from the control data M1. If the content data A0 is taken in and organized in the electronic document B2, the content data A0 has a consistent content from the time of provision from the customer management source until the creation of the electronic document C for printing. Can keep.

  Further, it is assumed that at least a part of the content data A0 in the print electronic document C is described so as not to be visually recognized in the printed matter at the time of sending, and this is extracted to organize the print electronic document C. If the information is used as information, the print electronic document C can have various layouts by combining with the configuration and arrangement of the content data A0 by the control data M1.

  Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment including an electronic document creation system for printing according to the present invention. A portion surrounded by an alternate long and short dash line (“printing pre-processing system”) in the drawing is an electronic document creation system for printing according to the present invention. It corresponds to.

  This electronic document creation system for printing is a system for creating an electronic document C for printing that is the basis of printed matter sent to a plurality of customers, and is created independently of content data A0 relating to the contents of the printed matter. In accordance with the contents of the control data M1, the customer group page order assigning means 1 for assigning the page order within the customer group to the content data A0 for each customer group corresponding to each customer, as required according to the contents of the control data M1. According to the customer group selection / sorting means 2 for selecting and rearranging the customer groups accordingly, the organization for creating the electronic document C for printing by organizing the content data A0 collected for each customer group according to the contents of the control data M1. Means 3 is provided.

  This system can be constituted by a single computer or a plurality of computers connected to each other via a network. The computer functions as each of the aforementioned means by executing the program. The computer can be a commercially available personal computer including a storage device such as a hard disk or RAM, a reading device for a recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a display device such as a cathode ray tube or a liquid crystal display.

  The computer of this system first acquires the content data A0 relating to the contents of the printed material sent to each customer and stores it in the storage device. The content data A0 is provided in the form of an electronic document from a customer management source (shipping company). The electronic document can be in a PDF (Portable Document Format) file format of Adobe Systems, Inc., and can be recorded on a CD-R or taken into the storage device via a network.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the content data A0 is provided as three PDF files of “Kagami.pdf”, “Invoice.pdf”, and “Batch delivery document.pdf”. .

  Each PDF file describes the contents of the printed matter in a multi-page configuration, a “trader code” for identifying a customer of a delivery destination for each company, and a branch of a customer management source that has jurisdiction over the customer The “establishment code” for identifying such establishments is described. Each PDF file does not need to have the same size and layout for each page, and can be composed of various pages.

  The contents of the customer's printed matter can be configured as shown in FIG. 3, for example. The printed material in this example is composed of 2 pages for “Kagami”, 4 pages for “collective delivery”, and 2 pages for “invoice”, but the configuration of the number of pages of each form differs depending on the customer. Can be.

  Here, the additional object is a sending management component B1 and is described on each page of the electronic document C for printing, and is as follows.

  “Page serial number”: Functions as a mark for confirming the number of printed sheets and for guaranteeing / confirming that the front and back sides match. When performing double-sided printing with a printer, the front and back sides may not be printed at the same time due to the mechanism, but may be printed with separate units while feeding continuous paper, but at this time, the same serial number should be printed in the order of output. Thus, the operator of the printer can visually check whether the front and back sides are correctly printed and whether the total number of outputs matches the data.

  “DC bar code” (Bar code compatible with DataControl sealing and sealing machine): A bar code used to encapsulate sealed items together at the same destination using a mechanical sealing machine. In the machine sealing machine, barcodes are printed on each page of the output paper and read while reading it to ensure that the inclusions to be put in one envelope are definitely identified in the continuously printed mount. It is determined which page to which page is sent to the same destination. Even if the number of encapsulated sheets per random is random, by using this bar code, you can definitely sort the output in units of destinations, and the read records can be stored as logs, ensuring traceability. It can be used as a very effective tool.

  “Postal customer barcode”: A barcode printed on mail in advance to receive postal discounts. Output according to the specifications provided by the post office.

  “DC serial number” (DataControl sealed sealing machine-compatible envelope serial number)... Sequence number serial number in the order of envelope discharge for finally confirming whether or not the sealing work is correctly performed when working with the mechanical sealing machine. The sealing machine reads this sequence number with a camera, and monitors and confirms the final form of envelope quantity, output order, and sealing state. As with DC barcodes, it is possible to leave a log, which is effective for ensuring traceability.

  “Solid mark”: Used to mark the form for each destination when hand-sealing. When the number of encapsulated pieces per mail becomes so large that the machine cannot be encapsulated, the enclosing operation is performed by hand. For example, when a form output in the order of details is folded into pages and finished in page units, and stacked in a pile, it is added to the edge of the form paper that becomes the first page of each destination form. By printing a solid mark (square mark), the solid mark can be visually confirmed as the boundary of the destination unit when the mountain of the form is viewed from the side. As a result, work efficiency is improved, and the risk of sorting mistakes can be reduced by checking the solidity of the first page.

  “Blank page”: A page that contains only the page number that is inserted to ensure consistency as a product of double-sided printed products. When double-sided printing of multiple types of forms and forms of multiple destinations with one continuous form, there are cases where the division of the form and the division of the destination should be clearly divided on a page basis. More specifically, when the number of output pages in the form unit or the destination unit is odd, consistency is obtained by inserting one page on which only the page serial number is printed at the last dummy to make the output page number an even number.

  Further, the computer of this system obtains an index file M0 related to the destination customer. In the index file M0, a customer code relating to each customer, a business office code as a sales contact, a printed material name (file name of the content data A0), a form type, the number of pages of the printed material, and the like are recorded. Each page can be identified.

  The index file M0 is a file format such as text or CSV format provided by a customer management source (shipping company), and is recorded on a recording medium such as a CD-R or stored in the storage device via a network. Can be captured. The index file M0 may be created as an individual file for each customer, or may be created as one file in which a plurality of customer control data M1 are collected.

[Customer group page ordering means]
Next, as will be described below, the computer executes the program according to the control data M1 created independently of the content data A0 related to the contents of the printed matter, and sets the content data A0 in the page order within the customer group. It operates as the page order giving means 1 in the customer group.

  The computer creates control data M1 from the input index file M0 and stores it in the control data storage unit in the storage device. The control data M1 is composed of a plurality of records, and may be created as individual files for each customer, or may be created as one file in which a plurality of customer control data M1 are collected. Good.

  The control data M1 is created by reflecting the regulation information read from the regulation information file in the contents of the index file M0. The regulation information file describes information corresponding to each page of the content data A0, and has the contents shown in FIG. 4 in the CSV format. In addition, the regulation information file may include information specifying conditions such as what type of paper is used for printing by the printer, single-sided printing or double-sided printing, and insertion of a white page. The regulation information file may be created in advance or may be generated by a screen operation of a computer in a timely manner.

  For each page in the PDF file of the content data A0 for each customer, the computer describes in the control data M1 the correspondence relationship with the page number of the specified information file, so that each page of the content data A0 is in the customer group. Give page order in. In this embodiment, a customer group is composed of three types of forms, “Kagami.pdf”, “Invoice.pdf”, and “Batch delivery.pdf” for each customer.

  Furthermore, when information to be captured in the control data M1 is included for each page of the content data A0, the computer captures the information in the control data M1. Specifically, the control information is extracted from the content data A0 and written in the control data M1 by performing the processing shown in FIG.

  That is, for each page of the content data A0, if there is a text attribute object, the character color of the object is the specified color, the coordinate information is within the specified range, the character size is within the specified range, and the coordinate value is When a predetermined condition such as is within a specified range (S050), this is regarded as control information and extracted (S061), saved in temporary storage (S061), and a character string that becomes another control information in the same page Connect (S080) and add to control data M1.

  In this embodiment, the content data A0 is composed of three types of pages, “Kagami”, “Batch delivery”, and “Invoice” for each customer group, and these pages are grouped for each type. Form a small group. When there is a small group with an odd number of pages, a white page is inserted at the end of the small group to make the number of pages of the small group in all customer groups even. The insertion of the white page can be performed by describing it in the control data M1 or by automatically determining it with a program.

[Customer Group Selection Sorting Method]
The computer performs selection and rearrangement (name identification) as necessary by executing the program in accordance with the information described in the control data M1 in addition to the operation as the page order giving means 1 in the customer group described above. It operates as the customer group selection rearranging means 2. It may operate before or after the operation as the customer group page order assigning means 1.

  This operation is for adding / deleting a customer group to be included in the print electronic document C, and changing the order. Unless otherwise specified in the control data M1, all the provided content data A0 are in the order. Arranged in the electronic document C for printing.

  The selection and rearrangement of the customer group can be performed even when the print electronic document C has not yet been generated, but has already been generated, but can be performed again. Can be easily changed.

[Knitting means]
Next, as described below, the computer organizes the content data A0 collected for each customer group according to the contents of the control data M1 and creates the electronic document C for printing as described below. Operate.

  First, the computer generates a delivery management part B1 for each customer. The sending management component B1 is an electronic document in PDF format, and constitutes a bar code for automatic control of the sealing and sealing machine acquired from the control data M1, a page display within the customer group of the electronic document C for printing after organization, and the like. And the setting information regarding the size, type, position, etc. of the barcode read from the management component setting file.

  The content of the management component setting file is as shown in FIG. 6 and relates to the arrangement position information of each page of the content data A0 in the printed electronic document C to be created. The management component setting file may be created in advance or may be generated by a screen operation of a computer in a timely manner.

  Next, the computer generates a prototype B2 of the electronic document C for printing as shown in FIG. 7 from the control data M1 and the delivery management component B1. In FIG. 7, “Kagami”, “Batch delivery form”, and “Invoice” in the area on the right side of the sending management part B 1 are displayed here. “Kagami”, “Batch delivery form”, “Billing” of the content data A 0 This means that the page of each form of “book” is taken in, and a number such as “1/2” means the page number in the form and the total number of pages.

  This prototype B2 is a PDF electronic document generated according to the contents of the control data M1 so that each page of the content data A0 has a document area at least equal to or larger than that, and the content data A0 is arranged. Not in a state.

  Then, the electronic document C for printing is created by taking the content data A0 into the prototype B2 while referring to the control data M1. Specifically, the processing as shown in FIG. 8 is performed.

  That is, the output document (original B2) is generated as a new file (S010), the control data M1 file is opened (S020), the control data M1 record is read (S030), and if there is a processing record, the record Is added to the output document (original B2) as a new page object (S040), and page attribute items are extracted (S050). If it is a normal page, the page object and the postal customer are added. A bar code is output (S060), and if it is a lot / sample page, a solid patch object and a lot / sample serial number object are output. Then, page rotation processing (S070), output serial number output (S080), and output serial number bar code output (S090) are performed.

  By performing this process on the control data M1 of each customer, the print electronic document C in which the content data A0 is taken is completed. The prototype B2 is not newly generated, and the delivery management component B1 can be used as the prototype B2, and the content data A0 can be directly arranged in the prototype B2, that is, the delivery management component B1.

  On each page of the electronic document C for printing, a plurality of pages of the content data A0 can be arranged in an appropriate layout in consideration of imposition etc. by automatically adjusting the size and position of the computer. .

  It should be noted that at least a part of a character string or the like included in the content data A0 can be described so as to be invisible in the printed matter at the time of sending. For example, the character string of ID information of customer code, form type, and customer page number can be set to 0% density, or can be described in the same color as the printing paper. Then, the computer extracts a part of the content data A0 and uses it as information for organizing the print electronic document C such as the size and position of each page of the content data A0 in the print electronic document C. For example, by combining the configuration arrangement of the content data A0 with the control data M1, the print electronic document C can be variously laid out while maintaining the independence of the control data M1 and the content data A0.

  In this way, in this system, the content data A0 is provided in the form of an electronic document, and an electronic document (the prototype B2) that can take in the content data A0 from the control data M1 is generated. Since the content data A0 is fetched and organized together with the sending management component B1 in B2, the content data A0 is consistent in content from the time of provision from the customer management source until the creation of the electronic document C for printing. Sex is maintained.

  The created electronic document C for printing can be output to a storage device such as a hard disk built in the computer or a recording medium such as a CD-R, or can be distributed to other computers via a network.

  This system can be used, for example, when a customer manager prints invoices and collective invoices on a monthly basis with a printer, creates sealed letters for each customer and mails them, or mails various information for residents in local governments. Can be used. Conventionally, when a large amount of printed matter is to be shipped, it is necessary to perform processing with efficient dedicated equipment, so printer printing work and sealing and sealing work were often outsourced to specialized companies. A fixed-length data file or a text data file such as CSV format, which is a source of a printed matter to be shipped, is deposited, and the organization as a document is performed by a specialist in printing business. On the other hand, in this system, the data processing and output image of the form as the content data A0 is processed by the system of the customer management source, and the output as the content data A0 is sent to an external data printing and enclosing sealing contractor. It is suitable for depositing.

  The electronic document C for printing including the delivery management component B1 such as a control barcode is convenient when the contractor automatically processes delivery work such as customer aliasing such as enclosing seal. Further, when it becomes necessary to update the contents of the electronic document C for printing, the step of assigning the page order within the customer group by the customer group page order assigning means 1 again, or the customer group selection rearranging means After executing the step of selecting and rearranging customer groups according to 2, it is possible to execute the step of creating the electronic document C for printing, thereby rearranging each page of a plurality of forms by customer For example, it is possible to easily perform a change operation such as selecting or outputting only some customer forms.

  Moreover, according to this system, the department responsible for the contents of the printed matter for the customer fixes the contents of the printed matter as a general-purpose electronic document, and a series of processing / printing for the department that handles printing / delivery processing. It is possible to separate from the editing process, and the change of the content data A0 and the printing / delivery method can be independently changed. This makes it possible to clarify the responsibility in the case where the printing / sending process is outsourced to an outside contractor.

  In addition, the customer may not want to receive the content data A0 as a printed matter, but may wish to view it on the Web. Even in such a case, the electronic document for printing in PDF format does not change the system. By passing C to the WWW server, the customer can be browsed on the Web.

  In this embodiment, the content data A0 for each customer is three types, that is, “Kagami”, “Batch delivery form”, and “Invoice”. Is not limited to this. For example, one type may be used, and further, a step of dividing one type of content into upper and lower parts and adding the procedure to the control data M1 to add content data. The page A0 may be divided into a plurality of pages in the printing electronic document C.

  This system is operated by a customer management source, and when the printing electronic document C is outsourced to an external contractor, this system is operated by the external contractor, and the customer management source is the content data A0. In the case of entrusting to an outside contractor, the flow may also be for dividing work within the customer management source.

  FIGS. 9 to 12 show examples of the electronic document C for printing created by the system described above (for one customer). This electronic document C for printing is composed of “Kagami” (pages 1 to 2), “collective delivery” (pages 3 to 6), and “invoice” (pages 7 to 8). It consists of three types of pages.

  Each page is given a serial number (0001 to 0004) in the lower right corner. The serial number is the same for the two pages on the front and back sides. The destination box at the upper left of the front page (first page) of “Kagami” is the sent mail sequence (00000001 #), the postal bar code, and the customer's start solid mark (square mark) to the right of the serial number in the lower right corner. ) Is attached. The front page of “Kagami” (page 1), the front page of “collective delivery” (pages 3 and 5), and the front page of “invoice” (page 7) A bar code for DC sealing is attached on the lower right side. These are described in the sending management component B1.

  The content data A0 used for creating the electronic document C for printing is “Kagami” for two pages, “Batch delivery” for five pages, and “Invoice” for one page. The types consist of small groups, and each small group is organized (pages are continuous), but the number of pages for “collective delivery” and “invoice” is an odd number. By inserting white pages at the end (6th page and 8th page), the number of pages of the small groups in all customer groups is an even number.

  Next, images of examples of knitting in the knitting means 3 are shown in FIGS.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, an “a.pdf” file consisting of three pages a_1, a_2, and a_3 and a “b.pdf” file consisting of two pages b_1 and b_2 are input as content data A0. This is an image when the electronic document C “C.pdf” file for printing is generated by rearranging and rotating the pages. The control data M1 is composed of records of a plurality of lines. In each record, the output serial number, the file name of the input content data A0, and the page number of the content data A0 are described by separating them with commas. In the management component setting file, “C.pdf” and “TURN_RATE”, which are output file names, are specified in “FILE_NAME” and a rotation angle of 90 degrees. As shown in the figure, the content of “C.pdf” to be output is obtained by rotating each page by 90 degrees in the order of pages a_2, b_2, b_1, a_3, and a_1.

  The example shown in FIG. 14 is an electronic document for printing in which an “a.pdf” file consisting of three pages a_1, a_2, and a_3 is input as the content data A0, and a page number and an enclosing seal control barcode are inserted into each page. This is an image when a C “C.pdf” file is generated. In each record of the control data M1, the output serial number, the file name of the input content data A0, the page number of the content data A0, the page number assigned in the electronic document C for printing, and the barcode information are separated by commas. Has been described. In the management part setting file, [FRAME_1] designates the page number assigned to the electronic document C for printing, and [FRAME_2] designates the position of each barcode, the rotation angle, and the like. As shown in the figure, the content of “C.pdf” to be output is such that the page number is attached to the upper right portion of each page, and the enclosing / sealing control barcode is attached to the upper left portion.

  In the example shown in FIG. 15, an “a.pdf” file composed of three pages a_1, a_2, and a_3 is input as the content data A0, and a printed electronic document C “C.C. This is an image when a “pdf” file is generated. (The record on the second line of the control data M1 has no input file name and only a comma is described, meaning that the page is a white page.) The record on the fourth line has no input file name and a solid mark. A designated square symbol and a character string “LOT1-1” indicating that the page is a lot sample page are described. In the management component setting file, the position of the square symbol and the character string, the rotation angle, and the like are specified in [FRAME_1] and [FRAME_2]. As shown in the figure, the content of “C.pdf” to be output has a white page on the second page and a solid mark and a display of “LOT1-1” on the fourth page.
