Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to perform: extracting, as a common object, an object commonly referred to on a plurality of pages, from a file including data of a plurality of pages and positional information indicating positions of the data of the plurality of pages; determining whether to define the common object extracted at the extracting as an object to be commonly used on the plurality of pages or to define the common object on each of the plurality of pages; reconstructing data by arranging the object based on a determination result at the determining; and transmitting the data reconstructed at the reconstructing to an image forming apparatus.
Claims9
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- extract, as a common object, a particular object commonly referred to on multiple pages of a plurality of pages of a document, from a file including data of the plurality of pages of the document and positional information indicating positions of the data of the plurality of pages of the document;
- determine whether to (1) define the extracted common object on one of the multiple pages as an object to be commonly used on the multiple pages, or (2) define the extracted common object on each of the multiple pages;
- reconstruct the data of the plurality of pages of the document by arranging the extracted common object within the multiple pages based on a result of the determining;
- and
- transmit the reconstructed data to an image forming apparatus.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- receive, via a network or a recording medium, a file including data of a plurality of pages of a document and positional information indicating positions of the data of the plurality of pages of the document;
- extract, from the received file, as a common object, a particular object commonly referred to on multiple pages of the plurality of pages of the document;
- determine whether to (1) define the extracted common object on one of the multiple pages as an object to be commonly used on the multiple pages, or (2) a define the extracted common object on each of the multiple pages;
- reconstruct the data of the plurality of pages by arranging the extracted common object within the multiple pages based on a result of the determining;
- and
- print the reconstructed data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including program instructions that cause circuitry of an information processing apparatus to execute a method, comprising:
- extracting, as a common object, a particular object commonly referred to on multiple pages of a plurality of pages of a document, from a file including data of the plurality of pages of the document and positional information indicating positions of the data of the plurality of pages of the document;
- determining whether to (1) define the extracted common object on one of the multiple pages as an object to be commonly used on the multiple pages, or (2) a define the extracted common object on each of the multiple pages;
- reconstructing the data of the plurality of pages by arranging the extracted common object within the multiple pages based on a result of the determining;
- and
- transmitting the reconstructed data to an image forming apparatus.
