The invention is directed to a system for processing data to be stored in a document-imaging
system that includes a posting processor programmed for receiving at least one
object containing the data; a bursting processor programmed for bursting the object
to create at least one bursted object; an index extraction processor programmed
for extracting indexing information on the bursted object; and a communication
processor programmed for transmitting the transformed bursted object and the indexing
information to the document-imaging system. The invention may further include a
transformation processor for transforming the bursted object and a user interface
for configuring the system.
