In a case of performing test print of a specified print job, an information processing apparatus displays information on a print property to be changed from the specified print job in the test print and causes an operator to confirm the information, generates a test print job obtained by changing the print property of the specified print job, and transmits the generated test print job to an image forming apparatus.

Information processing apparatus and method of controlling same

An information processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises at least one memory; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory stores at least one program that causes the at least one processor to perform operations including acquiring, periodically, in response to a request, or both, a color verification result of a printed article printed by an image forming apparatus from a storage storing a color measurement result of a printed article printed by the image forming apparatus, and in a case where the color verification result for the image forming apparatus to execute an instructed image forming satisfies a reference, executing the instructed image forming.

A print system determines whether a setting of a print job meets a condition under which an inspection can be executed, sets information indicating the inspection instruction in a detail of the print job when it is determined that the setting of the print job meets the condition, and executes inspection processing on the basis of a scanned image and a reference image registered in advance according to the inspection instruction. In addition, notification information is output. The inspection processing is not executed when it has been determined that the setting of the print job does not meet the condition, and notification information is outputted indicating that the inspection processing has not been executed.

Information processing apparatus, control method, and medium

A setting screen for adding an operation process and setting a parameter related to the operation process is displayed. Via the setting screen, accepting of an instruction to add an operation process and setting of a parameter of the operation process are performed. A workflow is generated so as to include the operation process instructed to be added and information on the parameter of the set process.

Information processing apparatus and method of controlling the same

A workflow including a plurality of work processes for producing a product is generated for each of a plurality of product types, a setting of a parameter for each of the work processes is received by a user operation, and a preview is displayed using the received setting and predetermined dummy data. A designation of one of a plurality of pieces of document data is received by a user operation, and a preview is displayed by replacing the dummy data with the designated document data.

Information processing apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus according to the present invention, when the information processing apparatus receives an insert instruction of image information, sets a size of an output paper used for outputting document information and decides whether the image information can be inserted. In a case where the information processing apparatus decides that the image information cannot be inserted, the information processing apparatus converts the image information into a size suitable for the set output paper size and inserts the converted image information into a document.

Information processing apparatus and data processing method for inserting image information into a document by converting a size of the image information into a size suitable for an output paper size of the document

Document information that a user wishes to send by FAX is selected from a list of registered document information. If it is determined that a pre-set sending method flag for the selected document information is set to bundled transmission, drawing information generated by each application is converted into common document information. Further, after the converted common document information is merged into a single piece of information, drawing information to be converted via a FAX driver of the document information that the user wishes to send is sent to an image processing apparatus as a single job.

Data processing apparatus for sending a single job based on common document information

For each of a plurality of drawing objects, whether the drawing object is laid out on the rear side of one or more other drawing objects is determined based on an overlapped state of the plurality of drawing objects. The drawing object to be selected is decided based on the determination result.

Information processing apparatus and method

A data processing apparatus including an application for setting print setting information and printer drivers for generating a print job includes a selection unit configured to select a printer driver and a display control unit configured, if a printer driver that cannot generate a print job for outputting a print product reflecting the print setting information set by the application is selected, to display a setting screen that does not include setting items for which whether the set print setting information is reflected in the print product depends on a printer driver type, while if a printer driver that can generate a print job for outputting a print product reflecting the print setting information set by the application is selected, to display a setting screen that includes setting items for which whether the set print setting information is reflected in the print product depends on the printer driver type.

An object is to reduce operation load on a user when correcting the positional shift of tab document data with respect to a tab sheet. This invention provides a document processing method of a document processing apparatus, which includes acquiring tab sheet information to be used for printing, determining, based on the acquired tab sheet information and document data containing tab print data to be printed on the tab portion of a tab sheet, whether the tab print data is allocated on the tab portion of the tab sheet, and if it is determined that the tab print data is not allocated on the tab portion of the tab sheet, shifting the tab print data, based on the acquired tab sheet information and the document data containing the tab print data, so as to be allocated on the tab portion of the tab sheet.

Document processing apparatus, document processing method, and storage medium

Even when multiple document-data images are imposed on a sheet, a paper fingerprint registration can be performed securely with single processing and collation processing can be performed also after cutting of the sheet. An image forming apparatus according to the present invention, the image forming apparatus including: a imposition information acquisition unit acquiring imposition information specified for a sheet to perform acquisition of paper fingerprint; a paper fingerprint acquisition region calculation unit that calculates a region for the paper fingerprint acquisition according to the imposition information acquired by the imposition information acquisition unit; and a paper fingerprint information acquisition unit that acquiring region of paper fingerprint according to the region calculated by the paper fingerprint acquisition region calculation unit.

Image processing apparatus and control method thereof

In order to maintain consistencies of relations between objects and page attributes in document data, a document editing apparatus for editing document data including a plurality of pages, includes a determination unit which determines, when a process is executed for the document data, whether or not the process includes a move process or copy process of an object across pages, a composition unit which composites, when it is determined that the process includes the move process or copy process, information associated with a page attribute of an editing source page on which the object is currently laid out to the object to generate a composite object, and a layout unit which lays out the composite object as an object on an editing destination page as a move destination or copy destination.
