An apparatus includes a selection unit configured to select a target page from a plurality of pages having an object, a detection unit configured to detect a page having an object which fits in a margin area in which an object is not arranged in the selected target page from among pages following the target page, and a display unit configured to display the selected target page and the detected page.

Apparatus, control method, and storage medium

In the case of disposing regions of various sizes within a page, many blank areas appear and a layout result that is visually attractive could not be obtained. Therefore the present invention determines the starting position of a new row or column, using the difference in sizes of the multiple regions disposed in each row or column.

Information processing apparatus and control method

A printing apparatus that is configured to, in order to efficiently execute printing by suitably skipping a page that is not to be printed, receive information about an attribute of paper to be skipped without printing, and based on information about the received attribute, print a page that does not use paper having the attribute and skip printing of a page that uses paper having the attribute.

Printing apparatus, printing control method, and storage medium for controlling printing performed by variable data printing

An information processing apparatus performs a process of laying out sub-templates to a page to which a repeated page setting is not set. If all the sub-templates are not laid out in the page to which a repeated page setting is not set, the information processing apparatus repeatedly obtains pages to which the repeated page setting is set until all the sub-templates are laid out in the pages.

Information processing apparatus for performing a layout processing of sub-templates, information processing method and computer-readable medium

Automatic layout processing includes determining an area size based on a vertical size of sub-templates aligned in a row direction and a horizontal size of sub-templates aligned in a column direction, and locating each sub-template in a corresponding area.

In an information processing method of registering a processing flow, which defines cooperation processing of a plurality of tasks, in a manner that the processing flow can be shared by a plurality of users, a new processing flow is registered in association with a first user in response to a registration request of the new processing flow from the first user. In this stage, parameters of a task cooperated in the new processing flow are altered based on parameter information corresponding to another user different from the first user. Then, the new processing flow, where parameters have been altered, is registered in association with said another user.

Registering processing flow in accordance with user parameter

An image-forming device comprises an identifier-storage unit for storing an identifier in correlation with one of a plurality of feeding units on which at least one sheet used for image-forming processing is loaded, a specification unit for specifying the feeding unit by using the identifier, and a usability-determination unit for determining whether use of the specified feeding unit is permitted, where the image-forming device forms an image by feeding the sheet from the specified feeding unit based on the determination result made by the usability-determination unit.

In a situation where a data portion is considered as of higher importance in the course of preparation of original data, the designer is enabled to set the electronic watermark in a position that is judged appropriate by the designer. There are provided input means for setting and entering information to be added as the electronic watermark, area data preparation means for setting and preparing the area data of the electronic watermark, first display/reproduction means for displaying or reproducing the digital data in which the electronic watermark is to be applied, electronic watermark addition means for adding the electronic watermark to the digital data, and second display/reproduction means for displaying or reproducing the digital data to which the electronic watermark is added, thereby setting the electronic watermark in a specified area in the digital data and satisfactorily preventing the infringement of the copyright by tampering of the work.

Electronic watermark generating apparatus, electronic watermark generating method and memory medium therefor

There is disclosed an information processing apparatus comprising a setting device for setting, for each predetermined unit, attribute information for a character pattern to be printed in overlay with a form pattern, based on externally entered setting instruction information, a discrimination unit for discriminating whether separation information is set for each predetermined unit, separately from the attribute information and a print control unit adapted, when the discrimination unit identifies that the separation information is set, to generate a character pattern for the predetermined unit for which the separation information is set, based on the attribute information, and to cause overlay printing of the character pattern and the form pattern.
