Abstract

Methods and systems for receiving a first version of a printed paper and translating the first version into a second version are disclosed.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at a content preparation system, a first version of a printed paper, the first version including first portion associated with a first location within the printed paper; and

translating, at the content preparation system, the first version into a second version of the paper, wherein the second version is displayable on a display device as a likeness of the printed paper and translating the first version into the second version comprises translating the first portion into a second portion displayable in the likeness of the printed paper at a second location within the likeness of the printed paper.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein first portion comprises first content, the second portion comprises second content, and the first content is different from the second content.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first location in the printed papers is equivalent to the second location in the likeness of the printed paper.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the first version has a first digital format and the second version has a second digital format.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first version is an electronic version of the printed paper.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the electronic version is a bitmap, gif or jpeg.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising compressing the second version.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising encrypting the second version.

9. A content preparation system, comprising:

a computing device for;

receiving a first version of a printed paper, the first version including first portion associated with a first location within the printed paper; and

translating the first version into a second version of the paper in a manner where the second version is displayable on a display device as a likeness of the printed paper, wherein translating the first version into the second version comprises translating the first portion into a second portion displayable in the likeness of the printed paper at a second location within the likeness of the printed paper.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein first portion comprises first content, the second portion comprises second content, and the first content is different from the second content.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the first location in the printed papers is equivalent to the second location in the likeness of the printed paper.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the first version has a first digital format and the second version has a second digital format.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the first version is an electronic version of the printed paper.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the electronic version is a bitmap, gif or jpeg.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the computing device is further for compressing the second version.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the computing device is further for encrypting the second version.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for:

receiving, at a content preparation system, a first version of a printed paper, the first version including first portion associated with a first location within the printed paper; and

translating, at the content preparation system, the first version into a second version of the paper, wherein the second version is displayable on a display device as a likeness of the printed paper and translating the first version into the second version comprises translating the first portion into a second portion displayable in the likeness of the printed paper at a second location within the likeness of the printed paper.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein first portion comprises first content, the second portion comprises second content, and the first content is different from the second content.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 18, wherein the first location in the printed papers is equivalent to the second location in the likeness of the printed paper.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the first version has a first digital format and the second version has a second digital format.

21. The computer readable medium of claim 20, wherein the first version is an electronic version of the printed paper.

22. The computer readable medium of claim 21, wherein the electronic version is a bitmap, gif or jpeg.

23. The computer readable medium of claim 22, further comprising instructions for compressing the second version.

24. The computer readable medium of claim 23, further comprising instructions for encrypting the second version.
