Abstract: An information processing apparatus displays a setting screen for performing setting for a plurality of setting items for generating a product. The information processing apparatus determines whether a setting item of the plurality of setting items is selected in the setting screen. In a case where the setting item is determined to be selected in the setting screen, an image related to the selected setting item is displayed. In a case where the setting item is determined to be not selected in the setting screen, an image related to the setting item is not displayed.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a setting unit configured to receive designation of a setting value for one or a plurality of parts if a workflow for generating a product formed by one or a plurality of parts is set, and a management unit configured to manage, as a setting value for a part, a presetting in which a set of setting values capable of being shared is defined. If a change in a setting value for a part to which a setting is made using a first presetting managed by the managing unit is received, the setting unit further receives designation of a range which reflects the change in the setting value.

Abstract: Whether or not a received drawing instruction is an instruction which needs an arithmetic operating process with a background portion is discriminated. When it is determined that the received drawing instruction is not the instruction which needs the arithmetic operating process with the background portion, the drawing instruction is converted into a drawing command and transmitted to a printing apparatus, and the received drawing instruction is stored as intermediate data. When it is determined that the received drawing instruction is the instruction which needs the arithmetic operating process with the background portion, the intermediate data which relates to the received drawing instruction is extracted from the intermediate data stored by the storing step, a drawing command in which the arithmetic operating process of the received drawing instruction has been executed to the extracted intermediate data is formed and transmitted to the printing apparatus.

Abstract: In the case where an original document is edited, tints may be different at the time of printing because the attributes of drawings are different although they resemble each other. A specifying unit configured to specify contents of editing for an original document and a determination unit configured to determine a form of representation of the specified contents of editing so as to conform with the form of representation of an object in the original document are provided.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is configured to receive data on which a printing area and a paper area different from the printing area are set, identify a type of an apparatus for printing the received data, and determine a paper size used for printing using the printing area or the paper size using the paper area based on the identified type of the printing apparatus.

Abstract: In a case where the digital watermarking onto the document is implemented once at the time of printing and printed so as to update the printing contents of the document, the contents of the newly printed digital watermark does not match with that of existing digital watermark already printed. The contents of the digital watermark are also updated so to make them in conformity with the printing contents updated. The contents of the digital watermark and the position thereof are read by the scanning operation. In a case where the original digital watermark can be overwritten at the time of on-print processing, the overwriting operation is performed, while, in a case where cannot be overwritten, the printing operation is perform onto the new paper sheet.

Abstract: A print relay device acquires printer information which is registered in a print service server and is linked to a user. In order to cause an image forming device to receive a print job from the print service device via the print relay device, the print relay device specifies printer information that is not registered in the print relay device from among the acquired printer information, and additionally registers the specified printer information in the printer information which is registered in the print service server and is linked to the user.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus acquires information included in application data created by an application but not in image data generated by interpreting the application data, adds the acquired information to the generated image data generated based on the application data as attribute information (meta data) of the generated image data, and outputs the generated image data and the attribute information which has been added to the generated image data to an external device.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus which performs reduction processing for rendering data in accordance with a reduction ratio, the apparatus comprises edge extraction unit that extracts edges from a contour of an object in the rendering data; saved line specification unit that specifies, out of lines including the edges extracted by the edge extraction unit, lines each having an outer shape feature of the object as saved lines which are lines not subjected to thinning processing; and thinning processing unit that thins out lines other than the saved lines in the object, thereby performing the reduction processing for the rendering data, wherein the saved line specification unit specifies saved lines by determining the outer shape feature of the object in accordance with characteristics of the edges.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus which is capable of efficiently performing color/monochrome determination of characters as a print object. A printer driver determines whether a character as the print object is a character which is necessary to be drawn or a character which is not necessary to be drawn. Then, when the character as the print object is determined to be a character which is not necessary to be drawn, the printer driver determines that the character as the print object is in monochrome.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus has an extraction unit configured to extract a thin line with a width of equal to or less than a predetermined value from rendering data, and an end point processing unit configured to displace, with respect to a portion that satisfies a predetermined condition in the thin line, at least one of end points of the portion within a predetermined range.
