Claim:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a resolution converting unit that converts a resolution of input image data into a lower resolution by using a reference shift method; a dot processing unit that deletes a pixel of interest amongst a plurality of pixels in a dot area that occurs on an edge portion of an object in lower resolution image data that is obtained by the resolution converting unit; and a format converting unit that converts image data, from which the pixel of interest is deleted by the dot processing unit, into a format of an output processing unit that prints the input image data with a lower resolution, wherein the dot processing unit compares the converted image data to one or more predetermined pattern images, and when the dot processing unit determines that pixel values within a portion of the converted image data correspond to pixel values of a predetermined pattern image amongst the one or more predetermined pattern images, the dot processing unit deletes the pixel of interest amongst the plurality of pixels in the dot area, the pixel of interest being a pixel at a center of the portion of the converted image data.
