Abstract
An object of the present invention is to obtain a desired output result when forming an image based on the resource data downloaded via a network by avoiding a situation that the downloaded resource data in incomplete state is employed for output. In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides an image forming method comprising a step (S901, S902) of holding the downloaded resource data, a step (S903 to S907) of determining whether or not the information necessary for forming the image is provided by analyzing the resource data, and a step (S908) of deleting the resource data held at the holding step, if as a result of the determination, it is determined that the information necessary for forming the image is not provided.
