Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for splitting a digital version of a document into multiple volumes, the method comprising: determining a limitation of a specified finishing device, wherein the limitation of the finishing device prevents the finishing device from being able to finish a printed version of the entire document; and based at least in part on the limitation of the specified finishing device, splitting the digital version of the document into multiple volumes; wherein determining the limitation of the specified finishing device comprises determining a maximum thickness of a stack of sheets that a binding device can bind together into a single bound volume; and wherein splitting the digital version of the document comprises splitting a digital version of the document into at least (a) a first set of pages printable on a first stack of sheets having a combined thickness that is no greater than the maximum thickness and (b) a second set of pages printable on a second stack of sheets having a combined thickness that is no greater than the maximum thickness.
