Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012172079A1] A tool (100) for designing a document flow process for composition of pages and production of documents from these pages, comprising: - a graphical user interface (101 ) enabling a user to link pictograms, each pictogram representing a step in the document flow process; - means for each step in the document flow process to share with a document flow transformation module (102) information indicative for required data by the step, produced data by the step, required data input format by the step, generated data output format by the step, scope of objects whereon the step is working, re-order restrictions imposed by the step, and side-effect indications associated with the step; and - a document flow transformation module (102) for automatically re-ordering the steps (201, 202, 203, 204; 301, 302, 303, 304; 401, 402) within restrictions (103) implied by data usage of the steps, thereby grouping similar steps and/or nearing steps passing data to each other.
