Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image acquisition section, an image processing section, and an image forming section. The image processing section extracts an identifier given to an irreversibly compressed set of image data in print data, allows the image acquisition section to acquire a corresponding set of image data associated with the extracted identifier, and replaces an image represented by the irreversibly compressed set of image data with an image represented by the corresponding set of image data to generate a print target image. The image forming section forms the generated print target image on a recording paper sheet. The irreversibly compressed set of image data and the corresponding set of image data associated with the identifier given to the irreversibly compressed set of image data represent the same object image.
