Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for generating printing image data of a printing image and copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image data of a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image to be added to the printing image, the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image including a latent image and a background image, said information processing apparatus comprising: a selecting unit for selecting either the transparent-printing designation or overlay-printing designation, the transparent-printing designation being used for generating printing data so that the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image is superimposed on the printing image, the overlay-printing designation being used for generating printing data so that the printing image is superimposed on the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image; and a printing-data generating unit for generating printing data based on the printing designation selected by said selecting unit.
