The number of pages in which data of a structured document is laid out is determined in response to an instruction from the user, and whether the content of the data of the structured document is editable when the data is laid out is judged. The data of the structured document is then laid out in accordance with the judgment result and the determined number of pages.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and storage medium for storing program

A data processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to input data, a first processing unit configured to generate intermediate data using a printer driver based on the data input by the input unit according to a print setting that is determined not to divide an editing area of the data into pages, and a second processing unit configured to perform editing processing based on the intermediate data generated by the first processing unit.

Information representing content of a plurality of elements which are included in a structured document defined as a layer structure is obtained, and one of the elements included in the structured document is selected in accordance with the content of the elements included in the structured document. Then, the selected element is output separately from the other elements. Note that the elements included in the structured document are selectable in the plurality of layers and an element selected from any one of the layers is output separately from the other elements. By this, an appropriate element can be selected and output from among the plurality of elements included in the structured document.

Outputting selective elements of a structured document

A print control method causes a printing apparatus to print an image on the basis of a structured document containing a plurality of hierarchical elements. In the print control method, a print preview image and a tree view showing a hierarchy of the elements contained in the structured document are displayed. In the tree view, the elements are displayed in a selectable manner When an instruction to specify an element is input, an updated print preview image including the specified element is displayed. Thus, the user can easily remove unnecessary part of a Web page on a print preview screen and print the resulting Web page.

An image reading apparatus in which when one or a plurality of original sheets are put on an original plate and are read, a desired image can be automatically cropped without previously setting a cropping method by a user is provided. A control method of such an image reading apparatus is also provided. The image on the original plate is read. The type of original sheet is discriminated on the basis of color characteristics information of the read image on the original plate. One of plural read image cropping methods is selected in accordance with the discriminated original sheet type. The read image on the original plate is cropped by the selected cropping method.

A printing system is arranged so that each time a storage button disposed on an operation panel of a printer is operated, an interrupt event transferred from the printer to the computer is detected at the computer, and in accordance with the detected interrupt event, image data in a memory card mounted on a card slot of the printer is stored on a hard disk of the computer, and that each time a print start button disposed on the operation panel of the printer is operated, an interrupt event transferred from the printer to the computer is detected, and in accordance with the detected interrupt event, image data read from the memory card and image data stored on the hard disk of the computer is both printed.

Printing system, printing system control method, program and storage medium

To display a print preview to which an operating instruction from an operation panel provided for an external operating apparatus, an interruption event which is transferred from the external operating apparatusto a host computeris detected every instruction of the operation panel provided for the external operating apparatus, image data which is read out from a memory card which can be loaded into the external operating apparatusand a print setting which is set are obtained in accordance with the detected interruption event, and a preview display unitcontrols a print preview display in which the print setting has been reflected to a display device of the host computerand an updating display of the print preview display.

Print system and print control method

To enable simple and detailed confirmation of an operation instruction from an operation panel provided to a printer, each time an instruction is given using a preview button in the operation panel of the printer, an interruption event transferred from the printer to a host computer is detected, and in accordance with the detected interruption event, image data read out from a memory card attached to the printer, and a print setting to be set, are obtained. A preview display unit controls a print preview display reflecting the print setting in real time to a display device of the host computer, and also controls an update display of the print preview display.

Disclosed is an information processing apparatus for implementing a print preview display of print data that is to be printed, the apparatus including an acquisition unit for acquiring amount of offset of a page in a print preview, a preview image generating unit for generating a print preview image of the print data, and a preview display control unit for causing the preview image display, which is generated by the preview image generating unit, to be offset and displayed for every sheet of paper in a case where the print data is to be printed on a plurality of sheets of paper, based upon amount of offset acquired by the acquisition unit. Also disclosed is an information processing apparatus for implementing a print preview display of print data that is to be printed, the apparatus including an image creating unit for creating preview images obtained by superimposing images of sheets of paper, on which the print data is to be printed, upon offsetting the images of the sheets of paper by a specified amount of offset, and a display unit for displaying the preview images created by the image creating unit.

This invention prevents ballooning of the amount of comment information while being applied to an operation environment of the user, and provides comment information associated with an intuitively plain operation in a way that is particularly easy for a user. To this end, upon launching of an application, a window including processing buttons and a message area is displayed. Immediately after display, bitmap data of that window is acquired (self-captured), and the acquired bitmap data is displayed in a reference image display area of the window after being scaled down. Arrow lines which specify correspondence between comments in a message area and the buttons in the reference image display area are displayed.
