Abstract
A print server which functions as an image processing device extracts the reusable data of each object to be used on multiple pages within the file and prepares the form data by synthesizing the extracted reusable data. The print server prepares page data to be used for printing by synthesizing the prepared form data and the data of each object that is not contained in the form data.
Claims15
An image processing device for processing a file containing objects that define a part or all of contents of a specific page, at least one of which objects being used in a plurality of locations of the file, said device comprising:
- an extraction unit for extracting data per each object that is used commonly on a plurality of pages in the file;
- a form data preparation unit for preparing form data by synthesizing the extracted data;
- and
- a page data preparation unit for preparing page data to be used for printing by synthesizing the prepared form data and the data per each object that is not contained in the form data.
An image processing method for processing a file containing objects that define a part or all of contents of a specific page, at least one of which objects being used in a plurality of locations of the file, said method comprising the steps of:
- 1) extracting data for each object that is used commonly on a plurality of pages in the file;
- 2) preparing form data by synthesizing the extracted data;
- and
- 3) preparing page data to be used for printing by synthesizing the prepared form data and the data of each object that is not contained in the form data.
A computer readable recording medium stored with an image processing program for processing a file containing objects that define a part or all of contents of a specific page, at least one of which objects being used in a plurality of locations of the file, said program causing a computer to execute a process comprising the steps of:
- 1) extracting data for each object that is used commonly on a plurality of pages in the file;
- 2) preparing form data by synthesizing the extracted data;
- and
- 3) preparing page data to be used for printing by synthesizing the prepared form data and the data of each object that is not contained in the form data.
