Abstract: A printed material to be folded a plurality of times is paginated by displaying an unfolded leaf and assigning page numbers to pages on the face and back of the unfolded leaf through computer processing. The number of rectangles corresponding to the number of pages in a matrix is designated on each of the face and back of the unfolded leaf. One of the rectangles is determined as a 1st page on either one of the face and back of the unfolded leaf, and the rectangle on the reverse side which corresponds to the 1st page is determined as a 2nd page. One of the rectangles which will face the 2nd page when the leaf is folded once is determined as a 3rd page. The rectangle on the reverse side which corresponds to the 3rd page is determined as a 4th page. One of the rectangles which will face the 4th page when the leaf is folded twice is determined as a 5th page, and the rectangle on the reverse side which corresponds to the 5th page is determined as a 6th page.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus has a script interpreting section for obtaining a script wherein an execution order for a plurality of image processes, which is permitted in a simultaneous execution, is represented in a predetermined form, and for interpreting the execution order represented by the script; and an image processing section for executing the plurality of image processes in accordance with the execution order interpreted by said script interpreting section.

Abstract: A script producing apparatus has an execution diagram producing section having a plurality of GUIs including both a turn GUI for displaying a predetermined turn symbol on an image display screen in accordance with an operation, said turn symbol indicating that a plurality of processes are sequentially executed, and also indicating turn of execution for the processes, and a parallel GUI for displaying a parallel symbol on said image display screen in accordance with an operation, said parallel symbol indicating that a plurality of processes are simultaneously executed, and a script producing section for producing, upon receipt of production of the execution diagram by said execution diagram producing section, a script representative of an execution order identical with the execution order represented by the execution diagram produced by said execution diagram producing section, wherein the execution order of the script is able to be recognized by a processing unit for executing a process.

Abstract: Leaf pattern data and parts data representing the shapes of parts including back signatures, register marks, etc. are managed separately from each other. The leaf pattern data includes parts name data and parts position data representing parts position coordinates. When only parts content data of the parts data are corrected, the shapes of parts in the leaf pattern data can be changed. For data output, the leaf pattern data and the parts data are merged and outputted to display a leaf pattern with actual images inserted therein on a display unit.
