An information processing apparatus includes a control unit configured to receive first PDL data including a first bookmark and a second bookmark from a user, create a first node mapped to a page which is the reference of the first bookmark and a second node mapped to a page which is the reference of the second bookmark, and create second PDL data having a hierarchical structure for the pages by including the first node and the second node. The first bookmark is different from the second bookmark, the first node is different from the second node, and the first PDL data is different from the second PDL data wherein the second PDL data includes the page which is the reference of the first bookmark and the page which is the reference of the second bookmark.

Information processing apparatus, PDL data conversion method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus that converts PDL data into PDL data having a hierarchical structure is provided. The information processing apparatus: acquires the number of records in PDL data and creates a template including nodes in a record layer, which correspond to records in a one-to-one relationship and are equal to the number of records, based on the number of records; inputs PDL data and acquires relational information indicating the relation between a page and a record both included in PDL data; adds nodes in a lower layer of the record layer, which are linked with the nodes in the record layer included in the created template, and sets attribute information about PDL data to each of the nodes in the lower layer of the record layer; and maps each page included in PDL data to each node in the lower layer of the record layer based on relational information.

An information processing apparatus that performs mapping of a data field in a database to a document template holding a variable area according to a mapping rule defined in the variable area, thereby generating print data for each record in the database, the information processing apparatus comprises: an accepting unit configured to accept designation from a user regarding whether or not to perform encryption of the data field referred to by the mapping rule, for each data field; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not to encrypt content that is to be applied to the variable area based on the data field for which encryption designation is accepted by the accepting unit and the mapping rule; and a generation unit configured to encrypt the content that is to be applied to the variable area and that is determined to be encrypted by the determination unit.

Information processing apparatus, control method and computer-readable medium

An information processing apparatus includes an automatic update determination unit that stores update information for updating a record level among layers included in print data, a layered metadata change unit that acquires a key included in metadata in the print data and a value corresponding to the key, generates a change screen that can receive an instruction relating to grouping processing of the metadata, performs grouping processing on the metadata based on the instruction relating to grouping processing received via the change screen, determines based on the update information whether the record level needs to be changed by the grouping processing, and changes the record level when it is determined that the record level needs to be changed.

Information processing apparatus, information processing apparatus control method, and storage medium

An input of document data, in which a rule for retrieving an object from a database has been specified for each region, is received. For each region, the number of times that the database is referenced for retrieving the object is counted by applying the rule. A reference value and each of the counted are compared. For each region, it is determined that the object is to be inserted in the region if the result of the comparison is that the number of times is less than or equal to the reference value, and that the object is not to be inserted in the region if the number of times is greater than the reference value. A preview of the document data is displayed with, for each region, the object being inserted in the region or the object not being inserted in the region in accordance with the determination.
