Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0161466A1] A document creation system (100) for providing an Internet service in which users (106-112) with browsers at remote locations can look for an appropriate document and format is provided. Such user fills-in-the-blanks and is returned a custom electronic document that can be printed or forwarded to another recipient. A document-creation webserver (102) attends to Internet browsers who log-on and look for a product. Such users (106-112) are qualified and handed-off to a job-master webserver (102). The hand-off provides metadata that was collected from the user (106-112), and schedules the job for the next available document processor. The jobs and metadata are stored in a database (136). Master documents are stored on disk (134). The document processor assigned to do the job collects the metadata from the database using a pointer provided in a job queue (132), and fetches a copy of the appropriate master document. The blanks in the master document copy are filled in using the metadata and/or other data, perhaps from a database (136), and the completed document is returned to the customer over the Internet (104).
