  • Patent number: 9639317
    Abstract: An image output apparatus includes an image output unit, a presumption unit, a comparison unit and an output control unit. The image output unit outputs, in a predetermined format, an image of a content of a document file. The presumption unit presumes a first region/language setting of a document file created environment where the document file is created. The comparison unit compares the first region/language setting with a second region/language setting of the image output apparatus. The output control unit makes the image output unit output the image of the content of the document file by using a region/language setting selected from the region/language settings, which are compared with each other by the comparison unit, on the basis of a result of the comparison by the comparison unit in accordance with a predetermined selection condition.

  • Patent number: 9547625
    Abstract: An electronic document display apparatus includes a display unit and an analysis-and-setting unit including a determination unit and a first correction unit. The display unit displays an electronic document in display layout set by the analysis-and-setting unit. If the determination unit determines that an image related to a display-range text of a display range to be displayed by the display unit is not included in the display range, the first correction unit adds an image display region where the image is displayed to the display range so as to correct the display layout in such a way that the image and at least a portion of an image text related to the image are included in the display range. The analysis-and-setting unit changes a display state of the image displayed in the image display region on the basis of a predetermined condition.

  • Patent number: 9251444
    Abstract: Provided are an image forming apparatus, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program, and a print control method. An image forming apparatus which can directly print printing data described in a page description language. The image forming apparatus includes a display section, a data receiving section, an analyzing section and a rasterizing section. The analyzing section is configured to analyze printing data to determine a file format of the printing data, and operate the display section to display a print setup screen thereon, where the print setup screen depends on the file format of the printing data. The analyzing section is further configured to define a layout of objects in each page to be printed and convert the printing data into descriptions of an intermediate language. The rasterizing section is configured to rasterize the descriptions of the intermediate language to create an image to be printed.

  • Publication number: 20150077772
    Abstract: A data generation apparatus includes: a communication section configured to communicate with a print instructing apparatus; and a preview-image generating section configured to analyze a received print job and generate a preview image. The preview-image generating section is further configured to determine whether or not an object having a property not supported by the data generation apparatus exists in each page of the document; in response to determining that the object exists, obtain a possible alternative to the property of the object; generate edit data to be used for highlighting a replaced part in the preview image in which the property of the object is replaced with the possible alternative; and output the edit data to the print instructing apparatus so as to allow a user to recognize the replaced part.
