Abstract: Data specified by a distributor can be printed in an arrangement similar to that of the display state corresponding to the layout which is viewed by a person, to whom a printed matter is distributed, on the screen of his/her device in use. By specifying a user, i.e., the distribution destination for the printed matter, an information processing system can print the output data for a portlet application in accordance with the layout on the portal screen displayed by the user. In the portal server 102, the user information control section 205 manages the registration status of portlet application on a per-user or per-group basis and the layout information about print data. When a user or a group, i.e., the distribution destination for the printed matter, is specified, the output data for a portlet application is printed in accordance with the layout displayed on the portal screen set in the device used by the specified user, based on user information.

Abstract: Feed information is acquired from a server using a URL designated from a user of a PC. The feed information is compared with a print condition designated by the user of the PC, to acquire document information that matches the print condition. Out of a plurality of image forming apparatuses registered for users, the image forming apparatus capable of performing printing is selected. Preview of document information acquired according to print setting set in the image forming apparatus is generated. Feed information having the generated preview and information relating to the image forming apparatus capable of performing printing added thereto are transmitted to the PC.

Abstract: A transmission destination when transmitting data stored in the first information processing apparatus to the second information processing apparatus is registered in the first information processing apparatus. When the registered transmission destination has a transfer setting of transferring data transmitted to the transmission destination, the first information processing apparatus displays, in association with a button for transmission to the transmission destination, information representing the transfer destination of data transferred in accordance with the transfer setting.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to the invention manages a plurality of documents, each including a plurality of pages and being provided with an access right. The information processing apparatus includes a storing unit configured to store the plurality of documents as one file on the basis of the access rights and information of a user who performs processing on the documents; a creating unit configured to create a page list that describes page information, which is information regarding each page stored by the storing unit; and an outputting unit configured to output a page included in the file on the basis of the page list created by the creating unit.

Abstract: According to this invention, a document processing apparatus capable of creating document information including attribute information and page content information from electronic data created by an application program, includes a storage unit which stores, as part of document information, original document information for specifying electronic data as a source of the document information, an update instruction unit which allows a user to instruct regeneration of the document information, and an update unit which creates content information of the document information from electronic data specified by using the original document information and replaces the content information included in the document information with the created content information, in accordance with an instruction issued through the update instruction unit.

Abstract: An information-processing apparatus includes a print-job-transmission unit operable to transmit a print job to a first image-processing apparatus, and a driver-information-transmission unit configured to transmit at least one driver-information item including a driver list which is the list of at least one driver existing on the information-processing apparatus to the first image-processing apparatus upon receiving cancellation information indicating that the transmitted print job is cancelled by the first image-processing apparatus.

Abstract: In a data communication system including a facsimile apparatus having a function of creating data based on a facsimile signal, and a data processing apparatus that is connected to the facsimile apparatus via a network and does not have the function, the following processing is executed so that the data processing apparatus processes a facsimile signal. A telephone apparatus is connected to the data processing apparatus, and the data processing apparatus transforms the facsimile signal received by the telephone apparatus into a digital signal. The data processing apparatus transfers the digital signal to the facsimile apparatus. The facsimile apparatus transforms the received digital signal into print data and transfers it to the data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus prints based on the received print data. Thus, a data processing apparatus having no function of creating data based on a facsimile signal can print images based on a facsimile signal.

Abstract: An apparatus selects a cover layout type to be used during bookbinding processing from among a plurality of cover layout types, and determines page data to be laid out in a cover area, from among page data included in original data. The apparatus lays out the determined page data in the cover area according to the selected cover layout type, and generates a print job based on the original data and a result of laying out the determined page data in the cover area.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus and a method for managing dispensing information associated with a prescription for medicine, the apparatus and method including inputting acquiring information for acquiring dispensing status information associated with a prescription for medicine, sending the input acquiring information to at least one other device, and receiving the dispensing status information acquired based on the acquiring information from the at least one other device.

Abstract: In order to set correlations of contents to be displayed, a layout edit application which runs on a host computer selects containers, and decides the layout of the containers based on the selected containers and a correlation table which defines the layout of the containers.
