Abstract

Processing of a variable print document (300) corresponding to a plurality of elements (302), each element having a geometry and a z-axis value (304), may be improved by creating composite elements (306) to replace groups of elements when creating composite elements is desirable, for example, based on whether the element types are compatible for being united (308) and based on the coverage area of the composite element (310), and otherwise swapping z-axis values of elements if the elements do not overlap (312).
