1. A method of processing printer control language data containing potentially multiple documents to be separately remotely processed in electronic format, comprising:
- scanning a first document including the printer control language data to locate data indicative of a termination of the first document;
upon locating data indicative of the termination of the first document, evaluating printer control language data adjacent to the data indicative of the termination to determine whether the adjacent data is indicative of a second document; and
upon identification of a second document, separating printer control language data of the second document from the printer control language of the first document.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and program product provide a mechanism for managing the execution of electronic documents using electronic signatures. Documents requiring electronic signatures are automatically identified, mined, trimmed and split from a printer control data language stream. Status information pertaining to needed data, signatories, signature completions and authentication attempts is related to users during and after an electronic signing sequence.
