A method for outputting a print job includes accessing a file representing a previously created document at a client computer. The method includes accessing a catalog tree residing in the document and including metadata corresponding with a job ticket embedded in the file for rendering the document. The method includes splitting pages in the document into multiple chunks using a splitter located in the client computer. The method includes splitting by the splitter the catalog tree into a set of branches each corresponding with one of the chunks of the finished document. The method includes embedding corresponding branch information into the each chunk. The method includes generating a package of chunks. The method includes streaming the package to a digital front end (DFE) of an output device.
