At least one embodiment of a post-processing apparatus performs post-processing on a product printed by a printing apparatus, and transmits a completion notification, indicating that the post-processing apparatus has completed the post-processing, to the printing apparatus based on whether there is a subsequent post-processing apparatus to the post-processing apparatus. At least one embodiment of an image forming apparatus holds job data, performs print processing of the job data, and deletes the held job data in a case where the completion notification is received.

System, and post-processing apparatus and method for controlling the same

The present invention provides a document processing method and system which implement display that improves efficiency and usability of edit operations when inserting, moving, or copying and pasting data, by taking full advantage of the feature of retaining data and set values hierarchically in the system. In document processing for editing a document consisting of multiple sets of original data, when a user moves a graphic object which represents a desired original by dragging it on the document in order to move or copy the desired original data to a certain position on the document, the present invention detects the boundary between originals in the document, nearest to the position of the cursor dragging the graphic object which represents the desired original, and displays an identifiable mark on the boundary between originals in the document.

Document processing method and system

Upon designating bookbinding print, preview images are displayed in a layout after bookbinding. When 'store' of intermediate data is designated in a print process, a spooler () stores intermediate data and an output job setup file in a spool file (). When the stored job is selected, a previewer () displays a list of jobs, and displays a print preview image. In this case, upon setting bookbinding print, pages are displayed in a spread state and order after bookbinding. Also, the open direction (right or left open), and the bookbinding unit are also expressed on preview images.

Print control method and apparatus

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

In a document processing method for performing print setting in cooperation with a job management server, if it is determined that a starting mode of a setting program is a cooperation mode for processing a print job in cooperation with a server apparatus, a setting screen is displayed based on the identification information of the print job to be processed and the initial setting information of the print job, and if it is determined that the starting mode is not the cooperation mode, the setting screen is displayed based on setting information for starting a setting program.

Information processing apparatus and control method thereof, and storage medium

Upon designating bookbinding print, preview images are displayed in a layout after bookbinding. When 'store' of intermediate data is designated in a print process, a spooler () stores intermediate data and an output job setup file in a spool file (). When the stored job is selected, a previewer () displays a list of jobs, and displays a print preview image. In this case, upon setting bookbinding print, pages are displayed in a spread state, and order after bookbinding. Also, the open direction (right or left open), and the bookbinding unit are also expressed on preview images.

Defect-free printing is achieved by previewing on a display prior to printing, device functions and print specifications. Preview of double-sided faces is concurrently provided when double-sided printing is specified. Display is performed by generation of data which allows print preview that reflects consideration of device information and document data. Data is generated for perspective-reverse-face preview when page-specification information is set for double-sided faces.

Information processing apparatus and method for displaying a preview image

An information processing apparatus includes an attribute setting unit configured to set a continuous staple attribute as chapter information of document data having a hierarchical structure that includes document information, chapter information, and page information, based on a user's setting entered via a screen, wherein the continuous staple attribute is set to instruct a printing apparatus to staple consecutive chapters together as a group.

Information processing apparatus and staple attribute setting method

A print server checks a job ticket for a print job to be processed. When a method of printing set in the printing attributes of the job ticket is case binding, a first thickness of a bookblock is calculated using the paper type set in the printing attributes. The print server calculates a second thickness of a bookblock using the paper type after a change. The print server changes the paper type set in the job ticket when the difference between the first thickness and the second thickness is within a permissible range.

Print processing system, print processing method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus for making a bookbinding setup for a document includes a cover page determination unit for determining pages to be imposed on a cover from input data of a plurality of pages, a cover imposing processing unit for executing an imposing process of cover pages on the basis of data of the pages determined by the cover page determination unit, and a bookbinding imposing processing unit for executing an imposing process of running text pages on the basis of data of the remaining pages which are not imposed on the cover pages by the cover imposing processing unit, thus allowing an information process for making a bookbinding setup that the user wants.

Information processing apparatus and method for generating print data for a book with a cover sheet

An information processing apparatus sets print setting information applied to a document upon printing and finishing information applied to a printed matter of the document and designates a first printing apparatus for executing the printing. In the case where the first printing apparatus can execute a process regarding the set finishing information, the information processing apparatus transmits print data including the print setting information and the finishing information to the first printing apparatus. In the case where the first printing apparatus cannot execute the process regarding the finishing information, the information processing apparatus designates a second printing apparatus for executing the process regarding the finishing information, transmits the print data including the print setting information to the first printing apparatus and transmits the print data including the finishing information to the second printing apparatus.
