Optimal pagination and content mapping for customized magazines

Traditional media such as magazines and newspapers are undergoing deep transformations as they cope with the high volume and dynamicity of currently available information. In addition, with the emergence of decentralized publishing models, there is an increasing need for automated tools for authoring high-quality documents. Moreover, much of the dynamic information on the Web could also profit from such mechanisms for automatic presentation and summarization. This paper describes a solution to the problem of automatically producing a camera-ready magazine from a set of page templates and a sequence of variable content to be placed on those templates. The algorithm is able to find the optimal number of pages to hold the content, selecting the best templates to be used in the magazine in such a way that all pages are optimally used. The algorithm was integrated to Adobe's InDesign ® software, extending it to perform text fitting and rendering of magazine pages. The complete workflow is described in this paper, as well as an empirical evaluation and a discussion of future research directions.

Page Description Languages, such as PDF or PostScript, describe the page as a series of graphical operators, which are then imaged to draw the page content. An interpreter executes these operators one-by-one every time the page is rendered into a viewable form. Typically, this interpreter takes the form of a tokenizer that splits the page description into the separate operators. Various subroutines are then called depending on which tokens are encountered. This process is analogous to instruction execution at the heart of a CPU: the CPU fetches machine code instructions from memory and dispatches them to the various parts of the chip as necessary.In this paper, we show that it is possible to compile a page description directly into machine code, bypassing the need to interpret the page description. This can bring a speed increase in PDF rendering -particularly important on low-power devicesand could also help increase document accessibility.
