摘要： There are cases in which an effective search index cannot be provided to an image data only by extracting character codes from a character object in PDL data. An image processing apparatus of the present invention obtains image data by rendering PDL data, and extracts a character object from the image data. The image processing apparatus performs character recognition processing on the extracted character object to obtain character code information, and provides metadata including the character code information to the image data.

摘要： An image forming apparatus not having a spot color printing function and connected a network cannot print out a proper image from image data which is already processed for spot color and stored in an image forming apparatus having a spot color printing function. When the image data subjected to the spot color process is stored in the image forming apparatus having the spot color printing function, difference information is stored together with the image data subjected to the spot color process. In order to print the data by a four-color output type of image forming apparatus not having the spot color printing function, the data is restored into four-color image data on the basis of the difference information, and the four-color image data is transmitted to the image forming apparatus not having the spot color printing function.

摘要： A variable c1 is counted up by one for the Nth bit in attribute information=“1”, and a variable c0 is counted up by one for the Nth bit=“0” (S402). When the total code amount of the coding results of pieces of attribute information which have been coded up to now has exceeded a predetermined threshold, a value held by the variable c0 at this time and that held by the variable c1 are compared with each other to determine which of “1” or “0” is set for the Nth bit of subsequently input attribute information (S405).

摘要： When there is a possibility where an undesirable printing result may be caused, a preview image useful for the check of the printing result is displayed, prior to an actual printing, to a user. Prior to the printing an image based on data after an image processing of an image data, it is determined whether or not there is a possibility in which an undesirable printing result may be caused based on the image data and, when it is determined that there is the possibility, a warning message is issued. When it is determined that there is a possibility in which an undesirable printing result may be caused, a printer driver simulates the image processing by the printing apparatus to prepare the data after the image processing. A display apparatus displays, prior to the printing of the image, a preview image based on the data after the image processing.
