Abstract
Document data is stored including both permanent pages whose page contents are permanent and variable pages whose page contents vary depending on a plurality of types of records. Print data which includes the variable pages and is to be output to the first printing apparatus serving as a plateless printing apparatus, and plate data which does not include the variable pages and is used to make a press plate used in the second printing apparatus serving as a plate printing apparatus are generated from the document data.
Claims10
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit adapted to store document data including both a permanent page whose page content is permanent and a variable page whose page content varies depending on a plurality of types of records;
- and
- a generation unit adapted to generate, from the document data, print data which includes the variable page and is to be output to a first printing apparatus serving as a plateless printing apparatus, and plate data which does not include the variable page and is used to make a press plate used in a second printing apparatus serving as a plate printing apparatus.
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus which processes document data including both a permanent page whose page content is permanent and a variable page whose page content varies depending on a plurality of types of records, the method comprising:
- at a generation unit, a generation step of generating, from the document data, print data which includes the variable page and is to be output to a first printing apparatus serving as a plateless printing apparatus, and plate data which does not include the variable page and is used to make a press plate used in a second printing apparatus serving as a plate printing apparatus;
- and
- at an output unit, an output step of outputting the print data generated in the generation step to the first printing apparatus, and the plate data generated in the generation step to a plate making apparatus.
A computer-readable medium which causes a computer to control an information processing apparatus which processes document data including both a permanent page whose page content is permanent and a variable page whose page content varies depending on a plurality of types of records, the program causing the computer to execute
- a generation step of generating, from the document data, print data which includes the variable page and is to be output to a first printing apparatus serving as a plateless printing apparatus, and plate data which does not include the variable page and is used to make a press plate used in a second printing apparatus serving as a plate printing apparatus, and
- an output step of outputting the print data generated in the generation step to the first printing apparatus, and the plate data generated in the generation step to a plate making apparatus.
