ABSTRACT:
In a network of connected nodes, a system and method are provided for automatic digital document processing. The method comprises: embedding a processing profile with a digital document; and, processing the digital document in response to the embedded processing profile. Typically, embedding the processing profile includes generating a packet having a metadata section with the processing profile and a data section with the digital document. Then, processing the digital document includes a current node extracting current node process and routing instructions. In some aspects of the method, processing the digital document includes the current (first) node determining a next (second) network-connected node from the node routing instructions. Then, the method further comprises: sending the metadata section packet from the current (first) node to the next (second) node; and, receiving the packet at the current (second) node; and, processing the digital document at the current (second) node.
