Abstract
A method for generating a secondary image, being a first body of data from an initial document, onto a second body of data from the initial document, to produce a final document. The method includes identifying within the initial document the first and second bodies of data. The initial document is then formatted into an initial digital document file capable of being processed by the document producer into the final document. The first body of data is stored in a computer readable memory as a secondary image data file, and the second body of data is stored in the memory as a primary image data file. The secondary image data file and at least a portion of the primary image data file are then combined in the document producer to generate a digital page of the finished document, which is then generated by the document producer as the final document.
