Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire work instruction information stored in a specific folder and target information that is a target of image formation and that corresponds to the work instruction information; change an order of the acquired work instruction information such that the target information corresponding to the work instruction information are subjected to the image formation in a predetermined order; and perform a process of sequentially storing the work instruction information the order of which is changed in a target folder from which an image forming apparatus takes information that is the target of the image formation.

Abstract: A converting apparatus includes a converter, an extractor, and a generating unit. The converter converts print data described in a first description language into print data described in a second description language. The extractor extracts command information related to an imposition process from the print data described in the first description language. The generating unit analyzes the command information extracted by the extractor so as to generate information for specifying print-layout definition information to be used from multiple pieces of print-layout definition information stored in a printer that is to execute a printing process. The multiple pieces of print-layout definition information have different imposition processes defined therein.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a reception section that receives print data including plural page images and receives data on what type the print data is for selecting attribute information with a degree of importance set for each attribute indicating a feature of the page image; an acquisition section that acquires the attribute information according to the type of the print data; a setting section that sets an evaluation value for each of the page images included in the print data by using the acquired attribute information; and a control section that performs a control to display previews of the page images according to the evaluation values.
