Converting apparatus, printing system, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A printing system comprising:

• a printer that stores therein a plurality of pieces of print-layout definition information in which different imposition processes are defined;
• and
• a converting apparatus including
• a converter that converts print data described in a first description language into print data that is described in a second description language and based on which a printing process is executable in the printer,
• an extractor that extracts command information related to an imposition process from the print data described in the first description language, and
• a generating unit that analyzes the command information extracted by the extractor so as to generate information for specifying print-layout definition information to be used from the plurality of pieces of print-layout definition information stored in the printer.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• converting print data described in a first description language into print data described in a second description language;
• extracting command information related to an imposition process from the print data described in the first description language;
• and
• analyzing the extracted command information so as to generate information for specifying print-layout definition information to be used from a plurality of pieces of print-layout definition information stored in a printer that is to execute a printing process, the plurality of pieces of print-layout definition information having different imposition processes defined therein.
