In plug-in software capable of creating a sheet size to be set in an application based on an output size and sheet sizes allowed to be set in the application, when the plug-in software supports a plurality of applications, if there is a difference in sheet size among the applications, it is necessary to change setting in terms of the size when data is shared by the applications. This necessity of changing the setting in terms of the size is avoided by detecting a smallest sheet size from maximum sheet sizes usable in the respective applications and determining the sheet size for common use by the applications based on the detected smallest size.
A method, used in common by a plurality of applications installed on a computer connected to a printing apparatus, for extending a function of the plurality of applications, comprising:
A system that is used in common on a plurality of applications installed on a computer connected to a printing apparatus and that is configured to extend a function of the plurality of applications, comprising:
A computer-readable storage medium containing computer-executable instructions for controlling a system that is used in common on a plurality of applications installed on a computer connected to a printing apparatus and that is configured to extend a function of the plurality of applications, the medium comprising:
