Abstract
Defect-free printing is achieved by previewing on a display prior to printing, device functions and print specifications. Preview of double-sided faces is concurrently provided when double-sided printing is specified. Display is performed by generation of data which allows print preview that reflects consideration of device information and document data. Data is generated for perspective-reverse-face preview when page-specification information is set for double-sided faces.

An information processing apparatus for displaying a preview image based on document data generated by an application, comprising:
- a setting unit constructed to set a layout attribute to place a plurality of pages on a printing face of a sheet;
- a display controlling unit constructed to display a preview image indicating a first printing face on which the plurality of pages have been placed based on the layout attribute set by the setting unit and the document data;
- and
- a deleting unit constructed to delete a single page of the plurality of pages to have been placed on the preview image displayed by said display controlling unit;
- wherein said display controlling unit displays the preview image indicating the first printing face on which (1) a page to be not deleted by said deleting unit of the plurality of pages to have been placed on the first printing face and (2) a single page of a plurality of pages to have been placed on a second printing face following the first printing face have been placed, when the single page was deleted by said deleting unit.
A method of controlling preview display of document data generated by an application, comprising:
- a setting step of setting a layout attribute to place a plurality of pages on a printing face of a sheet;
- a display controlling step of displaying a preview image indicating a first printing face on which the plurality of pages have been placed based on the layout attribute set by the setting step and the document data;
- and
- a deleting step of deleting single page of the plurality of pages to have been placed on the preview image displayed by said display controlling step;
- wherein said display controlling step displays the preview image indicating the first printing face on which (1) a page to be not deleted by said deleting step of the plurality of pages to have been placed on the first printing face and (2) a single page of a plurality of pages to have been placed on a second printing face following the first printing face have been placed, when the single page was deleted by said deleting step.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for controlling preview display of document data generated by an application, the program comprising:
- a setting code for setting a layout attribute to place a plurality of pages on a printing face of a sheet;
- a display controlling code for displaying a preview image indicating a first printing face on which the plurality of pages have been placed based on the layout attribute set by the setting code and the document data;
- and
- a deleting code for deleting a single page of the plurality of pages to have been placed on the preview image displayed by said display controlling code;
- wherein said display controlling code displays the preview image indicating the first printing face on which (1) a page to be not deleted by said deleting code of the plurality of pages to have been placed on the first printing face and (2) a single page of a plurality of pages to have been placed on a second printing face following the first printing face have been placed, when the single page was deleted by said deleting code.
