Abstract
An information processing device includes an acquiring unit, a reducing unit, and an outputting unit. The acquiring unit acquires at least two files each including a page on which at least one of character and image is carried. The reducing unit generates a reduced-size page. If the file includes a plurality of pages, the reducing unit reduces size of the plurality of pages. The outputting unit outputs the plurality of reduced-size pages generated from at least two files.
Claims18
An information processing device comprising a processor configured, when executing computer readable instruction, to provide:
- an acquiring unit configured to acquire at least two files including a first file and a second file, each of the two files defining at least one page containing at least one of character and image, and the second file defining a plurality of pages;
- a reducing unit configured to generate a first reduced-size page from a page of the first file and two or more second reduced-size pages from the plurality of pages of the second file;
- and
- an outputting unit configured to output the first reduced-size page and the two or more second reduced-size pages, such that the first reduced-size page and the two or more second reduced-size pages are placed at consecutive positions on an output medium having “n” rowדm” column of regions on which reduced-size pages can be placed, wherein:
- the reducing unit generates “k” number of reduced-size pages from pages of a file having the “k” number of pages, if the “k” is smaller than or equal to the “m”,
- the reducing unit generates the “m” number of reduced-size pages from pages of a file having the “k” number of pages, if the “k” is larger than the “m”, and
- the outputting unit outputs reduced-size pages generated from pages of one file on a first row of the output medium and reduced-size pages generated from pages of another file on a second row different from the first row.
