Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a first calculation unit configured to calculate a number of times of color conversion performed for an object included in an original document data as a first number of color conversions when raster data is to be generated from the original document data included in a print job with color conversion being performed; a tag bit generation unit configured to generate tag bits including attribute information for each of pixels of the raster data; a second calculation unit configured to calculate a number of pixels that are included in the raster data and an attribute of the pixels indicated by the tag bits being an object attribute as a second number of color conversions; and a color conversion switching unit configured to, when new raster data is to be generated with color adjustment performed for the original document data, compare the first number of color conversions with the second number of color conversions, perform color conversion process for the original document data and then generate the new raster data when the first number of color conversions is smaller than the second number of color conversions, and generate the new raster data from the original document data and then perform color conversion process for the generated new raster data when the second number of color conversions is smaller than the first number of color conversions.
