Abstract: An information processing apparatus receives a reception notification of FAX information from a FAX client that receives the FAX information from a FAX server that receives the FAX information via a network. The information processing apparatus monitors the FAX client, reads address information of the FAX server from a storage unit when the information processing apparatus determines from a monitoring result that the FAX client is not operated, and sends address information of the information processing apparatus and address information of the FAX client to the FAX server.

Abstract: A system includes a receiving unit configured to receive an operation input concerning an imposition setting, a generation unit configured to generate a first image in which images from a plurality of pages are virtually imposed in one page based on the imposition setting, and an output unit configured to output the first image regardless of a pre-set imposition setting restriction.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a sever access unit configured to acquire information representing an amount of use of a storage area from a document management server, and a determination unit configured to determine whether the amount of use exceeds a threshold when data is stored in the storage area by checking the size of the data. A document storage unit stores the data in a storage unit in the image forming apparatus when the amount of use exceeds the threshold, and stores management information relating to a storage location of the data in the storage unit in the document management server. The document storage unit stores the data in the storage area when the amount of use is the threshold or less.

Abstract: When a document, printing of which is designated, does not have a printable file format, an image forming apparatus determines whether a document management server which manages the document exists on the same network as that of the image forming apparatus. When it is determined that the document management server does not exist on the same network, the image forming apparatus acquires a file format printable by another image forming apparatus present on the same network, and transmits it to the document management server. The document management server receives the file format printable by the other image forming apparatus, and notifies the image forming apparatus of a list of an image forming apparatus or apparatuses capable of printing the document. Upon receiving the notification, the image forming apparatus instructs an image forming apparatus capable of printing the document about substitute printing. The instructed image forming apparatus substitute-prints the document.

Abstract: In a system for migrating data between document management applications, if an inheritance setting of an access right to a folder in a source document management application is a first inheritance setting for inheriting an access right to a parent folder, the inheritance setting of the access right is changed to a second inheritance setting for setting an access right exclusively for the folder while the same access right as the access right to the parent folder is set. Then, the folder is migrated to the destination document management application. If a hierarchy including the folder to be migrated exceeds an upper limit on the number of hierarchies in the destination document management application, the folder is stored in a shallower hierarchy in the destination document management application.

Abstract: A data management system includes a client apparatus, an image processing server, and a database. The client apparatus sets whether to extract text data from a print rendering command. According to the data management system, an appropriate text extraction method can be set according to an application. When a setting for extracting text data from a print rendering command has been performed, text data is extracted from a print rendering command output during print processing by the application. The extracted text data is sent to the image processing server together with printed image data. On the other hand, when a setting for extracting text data from a print rendering command has not been performed, the printed image data is sent to the image processing server. If no text data is received from the client apparatus, the image processing server performs optical character recognition processing on the printed image data to extract text data.

Abstract: This invention is directed to reduce errors which may occur upon moving link data referring to another electronic data. To accomplish this, an information processing apparatus includes a designating unit which designates electronic data to be moved or copied, a data type determining unit which determines whether the designated electronic data is link data, an acquisition determining unit which, when it is determined that the designated electronic data is link data, determines whether electronic data linked to the link data can be acquired, and a file processing unit which, when it is determined that electronic data can be acquired, acquires the electronic data and moves or copies copy data of the acquired electronic data instead of the link data.

Abstract: The present invention decides whether an OCR processing is necessary or not for a printing job by using a difference between text data extracted by performing the OCR processing on an image generated based on a previous printing job having been processed previously and text data extracted from text drawing command of the previous printing job having been processed previously. If the OCR processing is decided to be unnecessary, the text data extracted from the text drawing command of the printing job is registered in a database for retrieving an image data. If the OCR processing is decided to be necessary, text data extracted by performing OCR processing on the image data generated based on the drawing commands of the printing job and the text data extracted from the text drawing command of the printing job are registered in a database for retrieving an image data.
