ABSTRACT:
A printing machine has a computer program for aligning pages in a book and printing the book. A user scans pages of a book into a controller or computer where the pages are converted into a file that is independent of the platform that created the documents such as portable document formatted (PDF) pages. Each PDF page comprises content areas of text or graphics or both and non-content areas surrounding the content areas. The program does not remove the non-content area for any placement purposes and temporarily crops the page to determine the size (and position) of the content area. During automatic alignment, the program operates on the files to temporarily crop or remove peripheral, non-content areas and generate cropped PDF pages of the content areas on the pages of the book. The cropped PDF files include one image although it may encompass text and graphics. The program may operate in automatic or manual mode.
