  • Publication number: 20120042233
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a vector data acquiring unit, a partial vector data generating unit, and a partial image data generating unit. The vector data acquiring unit acquires vector data contained in image data representing a document image. The partial vector data generating unit generates plural pieces of partial vector data for drawing respective parts into which a drawing target based on the vector data is divided. The partial image data generating unit generates plural pieces of partial image data which include the plural pieces of partial vector data and which constitute the document image.
