Abstract
In a printer driver that transmits a print data to a printer connected via a network to make a print request, a document password processing unit prompts a user to input a document password for decrypting a PDF document data encrypted by a predetermined application. A print data creating unit creates a print data including the PDF document data encrypted and the document password. The created print data is transmitted to the printer via the network by a host I/F controller and a host I/F.
