Information processing apparatus and recording medium

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a printer driver, to cause a computer to execute the steps of:

• a) acquiring, as a first mode, a security mode of a first execution process regarding a print preview application called from a first application;
• b) acquiring a security mode of the printer driver as a second mode, when a print preview is executed through the printer driver, based on a print preview instruction given in a second application;
• c) determining identity of security levels regarding both the modes of the first mode and the second mode;
• and
• d) activating a second execution process, which is different from the first execution process, and is an execution process of the print preview application, to execute the print preview using the second execution process, when the security levels of both the modes are different from each other.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a first acquisition unit that acquires, as a first mode, a security mode of a first execution process regarding a print preview application called from a first application;
• a second acquisition unit that acquires a security mode of a printer driver as a second mode, when a print preview is executed through the printer driver, based on a print preview instruction given in a second application;
• a determination unit that determines identity of security levels regarding both the modes of the first mode and the second mode;
• and
• an operation control unit that, when the security levels of both the modes are different from each other, changes the security mode of the first execution process from the first mode to the second mode, to execute the print preview using the first execution process whose security mode is changed to the second mode.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a first acquisition unit that acquires, as a first mode, a security mode of a first execution process regarding a display application taking over the security mode of a first application and activated;
• a second acquisition unit that acquires a security mode of a second application as a second mode, before an operation instruction to execute display operation in the display application is given, based on a display instruction in the second application;
• a determination unit that determines identity of security levels regarding both the modes of the first mode and the second mode;
• and
• an operation control unit that, when the security levels of both the modes are different from each other, activates a second execution process which is different from the first execution process and is an execution process of the display application, to execute the display operation based on the operation instruction.
