23. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: associating the identifier with a location in the database.
1. A method of constituting a database relating to layout and data contained in a document to be printed, the database being made from a storage and generated by software processing, the storage being comprised of a file adapted for transmission to a printer so as to allow for the printing of the document, the storage containing data related to blocks belonging to an aggregate of blocks corresponding to the document, each of the blocks corresponding to a text or to an image of a page of the document, each of the blocks containing data relating to a container of the concerned text or image on the particular page and date related to content of the text or image, a determined arrangement of the blocks defining a composition of the page of the document, the storage storing in ordered blocks all data related to the container and all data related to the content of the considered texts and/or images of the document, each of the blocks being associated with an identifier so as to allow for identification within the storage, the method comprising the following steps: collecting all blocks, block after block, at the storage; collecting for each of the blocks the data related to the container and to the content of the concerned text or image by collecting various types of unitary data corresponding to said data related to the container and to said data related to the content of each text and image of the document; creating a table and transferring into said table the unitary data for each block in connection with the corresponding identifier; associating the identifier of each block and each unitary data corresponding to each type of data related to the container and to the content of each block with a location in the database by copying said table into said database; detecting the blocks corresponding to a text; collecting at the storage the content of a text block for each block corresponding to a text; creating a text file for each of the text blocks into which the content of the concerned text block is transferred; associating the identifier of each text block and each text file corresponding to the text block with a location in the database; detecting data related to colors associated with images or texts in the blocks at the storage; decomposing the data related to colors into a composition of primary color data; transferring the composition of primary color data into a corresponding primary color table; associating said primary color table with a location in the database, the database containing accessible and amendable data comprising the unitary data, the text content data and the image content data of each block, so as to be used for intervening on the blocks of the aggregate corresponding to the document and for either reconstituting the document or constituting a new document.
