Abstract
Systems and methods for mobile document generation from a print workflow. One system is an apparatus that includes a workflow with an interface that receives a print job that defines multiple documents. The workflow server also includes a controller that directs devices of a print shop in accordance with a print workflow that comprises an ordered set of activities to perform upon the documents. The controller records content from the documents while the print job is being processed in the workflow for generating a mobile version of the documents. The controller also identifies a document for viewing on a mobile device, and identifies a template for generating the mobile version of the document. The controller further inserts the content recorded for the document into the template to generate the mobile version of the document, and provides the mobile version of the document to the mobile device.
