Abstract
Even in the case of a document file including an annotation and text within a page, the file size is reduced while retaining annotation and text information. An image processing apparatus that extracts an annotation object and a text object from a page of an input document file, converts other objects included within the page except for the extracted annotation object and text object into one image object, compresses the converted one image object, and generates page data based on the compressed image object and the extracted annotation object and text object.
