Abstract: Page-group data indicating many pages is analyzed to acquire the degree of reuse of page components as an analysis result. A set of page data pieces in the page-group data is acquired as a data block, the number of the pieces corresponding to a unit page number that is the number of pages to be processed collectively as a single task when a conversion processor in a system actually converts the page-group data into drawing data. A predetermined conversion processor converts the data block into drawing data to acquire a conversion processing time. A predicted value of a conversion processing time required for the conversion processor in the system to actually convert the page-group data is accurately obtained using the conversion processing time of the data block. An operator is notified of the analysis result and the predicted value and can easily ascertain the appropriateness of the page-group data.
