Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide an image processing apparatus capable of combining a group element so that a color intended by a user is output ultimately even in the case where flattening is performed on the way of the processing performed on the group.
Claims20
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive print data including a plurality of objects forming a group;
- a generation unit configured to generate intermediate data of each of the plurality of objects from the received print data;
- a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a total size of the intermediate data generated by the generation unit from the print data exceeds a threshold value;
- and
- a combining unit configured to combine the generated intermediate data based on that the total size is determined to exceed the threshold value, wherein
- the combining unit, in a case where the determination unit determines that the total size exceeds the threshold value as the result of that the intermediate data of part of the plurality of objects is generated by the generation unit, combines the generated intermediate data of the part of the objects without combining with the intermediate data of a background of the part of the objects.

A printing method comprising:
- receiving print data including a plurality of objects forming a group;
- generating intermediate data of each of the plurality of objects from the received print data;
- determining whether or not a total size of the intermediate data generated in the generation from the print data exceeds a threshold value;
- and
- combining the generated intermediate data based on that the total size is determined to exceed the threshold value, wherein
- in the combining, in a case where the total size is determined to exceed the threshold value in the determination as the result of that the intermediate data of part of the plurality of objects is generated in the generation, the generated intermediate data of the part of the objects is combined without combining with the intermediate data of a background of the part of the objects.

Anon-transitory computer readable medium storing a program which causes a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving print data including a plurality of objects forming a group;
- generating intermediate data of each of the plurality of objects from the received print data;
- determining whether or not a total size of the intermediate data generated in the generation from the print data exceeds a threshold value;
- and
- combining the generated intermediate data based on that the total size is determined to exceed the threshold value, wherein
- in the combining, in a case where the total size is determined to exceed the threshold value in the determination as the result of that the intermediate data of part of the plurality of objects is generated in the generation, the generated intermediate data of the part of the objects is combined without combining with the intermediate data of a background of the part of the objects.
