Abstract
An information processing apparatus receives first print setting information of a document file to be printed from a printing apparatus via a network, and analyzes it. Based on the analysis result, the information processing apparatus generates divided document files by dividing the document file into data each to be output on one print sheet. The information processing apparatus generates second print setting information by rewriting the first print setting information so as to obtain the same print results of the divided document files as those of the document file before division. The information processing apparatus encrypts each generated divided document file to generate an encrypted divided document file. The information processing apparatus transmits the encrypted divided document file and second print setting information to the printing apparatus via the network.
