Abstract
The present invention is directed to optimizing the size of a digital document by using a content criterion such as size, resolution and the number of bits per pixel. A plurality of spatial zones are chosen according to a chosen geometric relation and the content criterion is ascribed to at least one of the zones. Modification of a size of a document is performed until a maximization of the quality or result is achieved.
