Abstract
A data management system includes a client apparatus, an image processing server, and a database. The client apparatus sets whether to extract text data from a print rendering command. According to the data management system, an appropriate text extraction method can be set according to an application. When a setting for extracting text data from a print rendering command has been performed, text data is extracted from a print rendering command output during print processing by the application. The extracted text data is sent to the image processing server together with printed image data. On the other hand, when a setting for extracting text data from a print rendering command has not been performed, the printed image data is sent to the image processing server. If no text data is received from the client apparatus, the image processing server performs optical character recognition processing on the printed image data to extract text data.
