Abstract
An image processing apparatus that converts drawing data generated by an application program into print data to be used for printing with a printing apparatus. A memory stores a program. The program determines, among drawing elements included in the drawing data, a drawing element that has a graphics attribute and that corresponds to a character drawn with path coordinates. The program generates the print data by converting the drawing data and includes performing image processing suitable to a text attribute for the drawing element having the graphics attribute determined to correspond to the character drawn with the path coordinates. The program also sends the generated print data to the printing apparatus for the printing.
