ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for controlling output of a document associated with a tab, bookmark or similar edge-projecting object outputs the document in its complete form including the projecting object. In one aspect, a position calculator routine is executed to calculate the amount of deviation between an expanded area of the document including the projecting object and an output area of the output apparatus, a document shift processor routine adjusts the location of the to align it with the output area of the output apparatus, and the apparatus outputs the document in its adjusted location. In another aspect, an area size calculator routine calculates physical dimensions of the expanded area of the document, a reduction processor calculates a reduction ratio based on physical dimensions of the output area of the apparatus and those of the expanded document area, and the apparatus outputs the document after reducing its size in accordance with the reduction ratio.
