Job auditing systems and methods for direct imaging of documents
First Claim
1. A job auditing method for direct imaging of documents, comprising:
- receiving a document that corresponds to an imaging job to be performed by an imaging device, wherein the document is in a non-native format that is not native to the imaging device;
determining that a translation operation should be performed on the document, wherein the translation operation comprises translating the document from the non-native format into a native format that is native to the imaging device;
performing at least one job auditing function with respect to the document in the non-native format, wherein audit data is generated as a result of the at least one job auditing function being performed, wherein performing the at least one job auditing function comprises creating a thinned, linearized version of the document in the non-native format and extracting metadata associated with the document and including the metadata in the thinned, linearized version of the document in the non-native format, wherein the audit data comprises the thinned, linearized version of the document in the non-native format, and wherein creating the thinned, linearized version of the document comprises;
creating a linearized version of the document by reorganizing the document data such that the physical location of the page data is in sequential page order;
extracting a subset of pages from the linearized document; and
reducing content within the pages that are extracted; and
providing the audit data to a job auditing record manager, wherein the job auditing record manager stores the audit data in a job auditing record.

Abstract
A document that corresponds to an imaging job to be performed by an imaging device may be received. The document may be in a non-native format that is not native to the imaging device. It may be determined that a translation operation should be performed on the document. The translation operation may include translating the document from the non-native format into a native format that is native to the imaging device. At least one job auditing function may be performed with respect to the document in the non-native format. Audit data may be generated as a result of the at least one job auditing function being performed. The audit data may be provided to a job auditing record manager. The job auditing record manager may store the audit data in a job auditing record.

20. A computer system that is configured to implement a job auditing method for direct imaging of documents, the computer system comprising:
-
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to; receive a document that corresponds to an imaging job to be performed by an imaging device, wherein the document is in a non-native format that is not native to the imaging device; determine that a translation operation should be performed on the document, wherein the translation operation comprises translating the document from the non-native format into a native format that is native to the imaging device; perform at least one job auditing function with respect to the document in the non-native format, wherein audit data is generated as a result of the at least one job auditing function being performed, wherein performing the at least one job auditing function comprises creating a thinned, linearized version of the document in the non-native format, wherein the audit data comprises the thinned, linearized version of the document in the non-native format, and extracting metadata associated with the document and including the metadata in the thinned, linearized version of the document in the non-native format, and wherein creating the thinned, linearized version of the document comprises; creating a linearized version of the document by reorganizing the document data such that the physical location of the page data is in sequential page order; extracting a subset of pages from the linearized document; and reducing content within the pages that are extracted; and provide the audit data to a job auditing record manager, wherein the job auditing record manager stores the audit data in a job auditing record.

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions for:
-
receiving a document that corresponds to an imaging job to be performed by an imaging device, wherein the document is in a non-native format that is not native to the imaging device; determining that a translation operation should be performed on the document, wherein the translation operation comprises translating the document from the non-native format into a native format that is native to the imaging device; performing at least one job auditing function with respect to the document in the non-native format, wherein audit data is generated as a result of the at least one job auditing function being performed, wherein performing the at least one job auditing function comprises creating a thinned, linearized version of the document in the non-native format, wherein the audit data comprises the thinned, linearized version of the document in the non-native format, and extracting metadata associated with the document and including the metadata in the thinned, linearized version of the document in the non-native format, and wherein creating the thinned, linearized version of the document comprises; creating a linearized version of the document by reorganizing the document data such that the physical location of the page data is in sequential page order; extracting a subset of pages from the linearized document; and reducing content within the pages that are extracted; and providing the audit data to a job auditing record manager, wherein the job auditing record manager stores the audit data in a job auditing record.
