Information processing apparatus capable of creating communication application, computer-readable non-transitory recording medium with application creating program for creating communication application stored thereon, and programming tool

Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a tool storage section, an acquisition method acceptance section, a template specification acceptance section, and an application creating section. The tool storage section stores a programming tool having a function of acquiring print data from an advertisement delivery server and a function of managing the print data. The acquisition method acceptance section is configured to accept setting of a data acquisition method for acquiring the print data. The template specification acceptance section is configured to accept specification of a template for use in printing the print data. The application creating section is configured to use the programming tool to create a communication application allowing acquisition of the print data according to the accepted data acquisition method and generation of an image according to the accepted template.
