This color portion includes characters, electronic marks, and graphs, and they are after a specific keyword. A monochrome presentation unit presents to a user a warning or a result of modification when there is the color portion that the distinctiveness is determined to be low by the monochrome visual determination unit. The monochrome presentation unit presents a state in which the document data is output in monochrome by displaying a preview.
