According to a document processing method for a document processing apparatus which lays out page data that form a document by a plurality of pages on one print medium, and sets the print form of the document, set attribute information is acquired as the print form of the document. When cut edge position designation for cutting, after printing, the print medium on which pages are laid out has been set in the acquired attribute information, layout control is executed in which the head/tail orientation of the second page corresponding to the latter half of the document is reversely rotated with respect to the first page corresponding to the former half of the document and the second page is imposed on the print medium.

Document processing apparatus, document processing method, and document processing program

According to this invention, bookbinding data containing pages created by respective applications can be constructed regardless of the type of application. Even when one or more desired pages contained in bookbinding data are selected, image editing is designated, but a non-image page exists in the selected pages, the non-image page can be excluded from editing targets, and the process can shift to image editing. For this purpose, when a plurality of pages are selected and image editing is designated, whether each selected page is an editable image page is determined. An editable page is temporarily stored. After all the selected pages are determined, an image editing application is activated to edit stored editable image pages.

Document processing apparatus, control method therefor, and computer program

This invention relates to a document processing apparatus. The document processing apparatus capable of editing the output format of document data formed from a document page includes a page repeat layout setting save unit which saves page repeat layout setting information designated by the user, a document generator which, when a page repeat layout is set by the page repeat layout setting information, generates output document data containing a page repeat printing page prepared by laying out a basic page by a plurality of number of times on one print page in accordance with the page repeat layout setting information by defining as the basic page one print page used when no page repeat layout is set, and a display controller which displays the document data in a print form in a display window on the basis of the output document data.

Document processing apparatus and method

An image processing apparatus enabling identical editing of a plurality of edit target images includes an edit position designator for designating, for a single image, an edit position as an edit target, an alignment position designator for designating an image alignment position and a edit unit that aligns an edit image and edits a designated area having the edit position for the single image as its reference.

Image processing apparatus and method

This invention enables storing and managing one document of respective parts as electronic data created by a plurality of applications regardless of the type of application program which creates each part of one document. For this purpose, a plurality of shared folders are set on a network, and attributes in printing are set for the shared folders. A hot folder program supervises the shared folders. When a document image data file scanned by a multifunction apparatus is stored in one of the shared folders, the hot folder program causes an action program to perform a process complying with the attributes set for the shared folder which stores the file, and a bookbinding application to import the file.

Document processing apparatus, control method therefor, computer program, and computer-readable storage medium

Image editing of documents with image and non-image pages

This invention returns a page image of a scanned document image to a state before an image correction process by only a simple operation, and facilitates bookbinding work. For this purpose, a plurality of shared folders are set on a network, and attributes in printing are set for the shared folders. A hot folder program supervises the shared folders. When a document image data file scanned by a multifunction apparatus is stored in one of the shared folders, the hot folder program causes an action program to perform a process complying with the attributes set for the shared folder which stores the file, and a bookbinding application to import the file. At this time, when backup in the shared folder is set, an original file stored in the shared folder is backed up in a backup folder. If a bookbinding application designates replacement with a desired page, the page is replaced with a page in the backup folder.
