Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: an analysis unit configured to analyze image generation instruction data including a reusable object, a variable object, and layout information about the objects; a storage unit configured to store raster data of the reusable object; a generation unit configured to generate image data based on a combination, which is determined according to the layout information of the object, of the raster data of the reusable object stored on the storage unit and the raster data of the variable object included in the image generation instruction data; a derivation unit configured to derive information about a compression ratio of the image data generated by the generation unit; an assignation unit configured to assign the information about the compression ratio used in compressing the image data including the reusable object to the reusable object; and an output unit configured to output the image data generated by the generation unit and the information about the compression ratio derived by the derivation unit to a compression unit configured to compress the image data, wherein the derivation unit is configured, if a reusable object similar to the reusable object to which the information about the compression ratio has been assigned is included in the image data generated by the generation unit, to derive the information about the compression ratio assigned to the reusable object as a compression ratio of the image data generated by the generation unit.
