Abstract
An apparatus generates a processing route defining a processing order of plural processing processes to process print data. In the apparatus, a selection unit selects devices that can process the print data according to output setting information, and a generation unit generates at least one processing route for processing the print data by combining the selected devices for executing the plural processing processes. The apparatus determines a security level of each generated processing route based on a defined condition, and determines a processing route for processing the print data based on the determined security level.
