1. A method for processing document data in a document processing system that comprises at least one document generation computer, a document processing computer, an electronic document output system, and a monitoring computer, comprising the steps of:
generating document data on the document generation computer by use of a document generation module;
transmitting the document data from the document generation computer to the document processing computer and processing the data there;
forwarding the processed data to the document output system for output of the documents;
to optimize control of the document output, in the processing computer providing the ability to both add or remove control data to or from transmitted document data by a processing module, and automatically forming and storing a control buffer file for the added control data and a document buffer file for the document data by a control service program running on the processing computer;
monitoring the output system with the control data by the monitoring computer under real-time conditions, said control data comprising a barcode object; and
for the monitoring of the document output, using the control data of the control buffer file to create a nominal list which is checked to determine whether parts of a job were output, and given errors of a checked job part, a reproduction job is automatically generated in the processing computer by using the nominal list and the document buffer file.
