Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for performing image processing for document data created by a document creation application, to generate print data of each page of a document and send the generated print data to an image forming apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising: a control section configured to: when analyzing the document data, the control section is configured to (i) convert coordinate values of the document data to mask coordinate values for detecting the blank space, (ii) refer to a mask having the converted mask coordinate values to specify a coordinate region of the mask corresponding to the region of the document data including drawing object data as the drawing object region, and (iii) calculate a coordinate conversion factor for converting the coordinate values of the document data to the mask coordinate values based on a setting interval value of a blank space ratio representing a ratio of blank space in the page, a prevision value representing a precision as to the setting interval value, and an area value of a printable region in each page of the document data and performs conversion to the mask coordinate values based on the calculated coordinate conversion factor.
