Abstract: In an enlarged/reduced printout in which the document margin of an application setting is maintained, a margin considering the enlargement ratio or reduction ratio needs to be set again in the application at the time of printing. An information processing apparatus that executes the application performs the following process: a paper size and margin size for printing a document are designated. First paper information based on an original size and margin size set by the application, and second paper information based on the designated paper size and margin size, which are generated by executing a plug-in program for the application, are acquired. When printing a document to match the paper size, print data is enlarged or reduced based on the first paper information and the second paper information while the margin size set by the application is maintained.

Abstract: Exemplary methods and devices herein receive the images of a previously printed document (through scanning, raster image processing, etc.), a second document to be printed, and instructions to use print settings of the previously printed document to print the second document. These methods and devices automatically detect page boundaries, detect page orientation, and detect page sequencing within the images of the previously printed document to identify previous layout parameters used to print the previously printed document. With this, these methods and devices automatically prepare a print job ticket for the second document that has job ticket layout parameters that match the previous layout parameters. After this, these methods and devices output (e.g., print or transmit for additional revisions/processing) the second document using the newly created print job ticket to cause the second document to match the previous layout parameters of the previously printed document.
