The image creating unit generates the image data corresponding to a first image and the image data corresponding to a second image which corresponds to an image obtained by reducing the first image by a prescribed reduction ratio, and the image creating unit sets a size of a priority object selected from the objects based on an attribute in the document data of the second image to be greater than a size obtained by multiplying a size of the priority object in the first image by the reduction ratio. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic apparatus, comprising: a data providing unit configured to provide document data including a plurality of objects; an image creating unit configured to generate image data including at least one of the objects arranged on an image plane based on the document data; and a display unit configured to display the image data, wherein the image creating unit generates the image data corresponding to a first image and the image data corresponding to a second image which corresponds to an image obtained by reducing the first image by a prescribed reduction ratio, and the image creating unit sets a size of a priority object selected from the objects based on an attribute in the document data of the second image to be greater than a size obtained by multiplying a size of the priority object in the first image by the reduction ratio. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the image creating unit sets a size of at least some of the objects other than the priority object in the second image to be smaller than a size obtained by multiplying a size of the at least some objects of the first image by the reduction ratio. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the image creating unit hides at least some of the objects other than the priority object in the second image. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a reception unit configured to receive an input operation to change the reduction ratio, wherein the image creating unit sets the reduction ratio according to the input operation to the reception unit. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The electronic apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising: a touch panel serving as the reception unit and the display unit, wherein the input operation is a pinch zoom operation performed on the touch panel. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the document data includes text as the objects, and the image creating unit defines a portion of the text selected based on text attributes in the document data as the priority object. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a printer unit configured to execute a printing operation, wherein the data providing unit stores the document data corresponding to a guidance screen explaining operation of the printer unit. ### Claim 8 A display method of an electronic apparatus, comprising: generating image data in which at least some objects included in document data are arranged on an image plane; and displaying an image corresponding to the generated image data on a display, wherein generation of the image data corresponding to a first image and the image data corresponding to a second image which corresponds to an image obtained by reducing the first image by a prescribed reduction ratio is possible and a size of a priority object selected from the objects based on an attribute in the document data of the second image is set to be greater than a size obtained by multiplying a size of the priority object in the first image by the reduction ratio.
