Abstract
A solution for evaluating a compatibility of a selected finishing with printed data of a document is provided. A page model is obtained for a page of the document, and its compatibility with a model of the selected finishing is evaluated. Each model can comprise a representation of a page/finishing (e.g., a bitmap) and/or a set of properties of the page/finishing. In an embodiment of the invention, the page model comprises a page bitmap and the finishing model comprises a finishing bitmap, which includes a set of impinged pixels. The two bitmaps are compared to determine whether any of the printed data in the page bitmap intersects any of the impinged pixels.
