Abstract:
A method for the transformation of digital print data streams, in which(i) an input print data stream (2) is read in, (ii) this is analyzed by means of a parser (4) for graphically representable objects (5) and is split up into these graphically representable objects (5), and (iii) the graphically representable objects (5) are stored in a memory (6) in an object-oriented format, and (iv) the graphically representable objects (5) stored in the memory (6) in an object-oriented format are transformed into a format for the control of an output device (9), preferably a printer, and (v) the objects thus transformed are combined into an output print data stream (10) and are output, characterized in that graphically representable objects (5, 5a) are stored in the memory (6) in an object-oriented format, to which at least one stored script is assigned, which is executed in the cases defined in the script.
