Image processing apparatus that prints information indicated by link destination information, method of controlling same, and storage medium

A method of controlling an image processing apparatus that performs image processing of document data including link destination information converted to a code data image, comprising:

• displaying the document data;
• extracting, in a case where the code data image is detected from the document data, link destination information from the detected code data image;
• receiving, by a user interface of the image processing apparatus, a user selection on whether or not to set each of the document data and the information indicated by the link destination information as an object to be printed;
• receiving, by the user interface, a print instruction for printing the object to be printed from a user;
• printing, when the print instruction is received, the document data in a case where the document data has been selected by the user as the object to be printed, and printing the information indicated by the link destination information in a case where the information indicated by the link destination information has been selected by the user as the object to be printed;
• and
• inhibiting, in a case where first and second link destination information items are extracted from the detected code data image in the extracting, and information indicated by the first link destination information is a document file and information indicated by the second link destination information is not a document file, the user interface from receiving user selection of the second link destination information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an image processing apparatus that performs image processing of document data including link destination information converted to a code data image,

• wherein the method comprises:
• displaying the document data;
• extracting, in a case where the code data image is detected from the document data, link destination information from the detected code data image;
• receiving, by a user interface of the image processing apparatus, a user selection on whether or not to set each of the document data and the information indicated by the link destination information as an object to be printed;
• receiving, by the user interface, a print instruction for printing the object to be printed from a user;
• printing, when the print instruction is received, the document data in a case where the document data has been selected by the user as the object to be printed, and printing the information indicated by the link destination information in a case where the information indicated by the link destination information has been selected by the user as the object to be printed;
• and
• inhibiting, in a case where first and second link destination information items are extracted from the detected code data image in the extracting, and information indicated by the first link destination information is a document file and information indicated by the second link destination information is not a document file, the user interface from receiving user selection of the second link destination information.
