An image processing apparatus including: a correspondence determination unit configured to refer to respective additional information data included in a file and another file and determine whether identical additional information data exists; a size determination unit configured to compare a combined size of the two files with a reference size when judged that identical additional data exists; a flag addition unit configured to add a flag indicating data exempt from search target to identical additional information data included in either one of the two files when judged that the combined size is smaller than the reference size; a deletion unit configured to delete identical additional information data included in either one of the two files when judged that the combined size is equal to or greater than the reference size; and a storing unit configured to store a combined file.

Image processing apparatus and image processing method

An image processing apparatus is provided for realizing a higher speed print-out of a scan image. It is determined whether an input data type stored in metadata of document data is PDL or not (S). If the input data type is 'full-page image', page data is divided into blocks and a thread is allotted to each of the blocks (S). If the input data type is not 'full-page image', the process goes to S. Subsequently, DL data is generated from vector data in the document, the DL data is added to the document, and the DL data is rendered into a bit map (Sto S). If the threads are processed by a plurality of processors, respectively, it becomes possible to carry out the processing in parallel and thereby to realize higher speed processing, when the input data type is &#x201c;full page image&#x201d;.

Job management information is analyzed to extract post printing process information on a post printing process from the job management information on the basis of the analysis result. A stylesheet corresponding to the extracted post printing process information is selected from a stylesheet storing unit which stores a stylesheet functioning as layout data for laying out and outputting post printing process information in accordance with the output form of an output destination. Work order form data of the corresponding post printing process is generated on the basis of the selected stylesheet and post printing process information.

Information processing apparatus, control method therefor, and program

An image processing apparatus includes a resolution-independent data generation unit which generates resolution-independent data, which does not depend on a resolution, from input data, a resolution-dependent data generation unit which generates resolution-dependent data, which depends on a resolution and is used to be rendered to bitmap data, from the generated resolution-independent data, a saving unit which saves the generated resolution-independent data and the generated resolution-dependent data, an apparatus information acquisition unit which acquires image output apparatus information associated with the image output apparatus, an apparatus information determination unit which determines whether or not the image output apparatus information matches image processing apparatus information associated with the image processing apparatus, and a data transmission unit which transmits the resolution-dependent data as the output data when it is determined that the image output apparatus information matches the image processing apparatus information.

Speeding up remote copy operation by transmitting resolution-dependent print data via network if processing apparatus and output apparatus information match

An image processing apparatus is provided. The image processing apparatus includes a holding unit means for holding setting information for every user, an input unit for inputting a print job, and an adjustment unit for specifying a user who instructs the print job according to print job information and adjusting a color image on the basis of the setting information of the specified user. Accordingly, a precise color adjustment fitting to each user can be realized by providing the profile for the color adjustment for every user.

Image processing apparatus managing user profiles, image processing method managing user profiles, and storage medium thereof

An image processing apparatus is disclosed which processes a document described in a structured description language to generate an image. The apparatus analyzes the document and recognizes the size of a font contained in the document. The user is allowed to enter a desired font size for output of the document. The apparatus then executes a drawing process with the entered font size.

Image processing apparatus, server apparatus, image processing method and memory medium

To collect optimal data to an image processing capacity of an output section in an image processing apparatus. Therefore, a method of the present invention includes the steps of: selecting a resource from among conditional branch resources linked in analyzed document information on the basis of an image processing capacity value of a printer engine; and acquiring the selected resource from a server device, analyzing link information in the document information described in the structured description language.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

An image processing apparatus is provided. The image processing apparatus includes a holding unit for holding setting information for every user, an input unit for inputting a print job, and an adjustment unit for specifying a user who instructs the print job according to print job information and adjusting a color image on the basis of the setting information of the specified user. Accordingly, a precise color adjustment fitting to each user can be realized by providing the profile for the color adjustment for every user.

Color data, originally corresponding to different colors, are converted to the same density when gray-scale conversion is performed, and no boundary is distinguished. When performing the gray-scale conversion, color data of an object adjacent to an object to be processed is referred to. As a result of such reference, even if it is detected that the object to be processed and the object adjacent to the object to be processed have different colors, but are converted to the same density by the gray-scale conversion, the gray-scale conversion is performed in such a manner that the boundary between the objects can be identified.

Image processing device and image processing method and storage medium

A plurality of plotting data generated for image output by an application program of a host computer are subjected to buffering; it is determined whether or not the plurality of buffered plotting data can be described by a smaller number of plotting data; and, when determined as capable of being described by a smaller number of plotting data, the plurality of buffered plotting data are converted into a smaller number of plotting data.
