Patent ID: 7746491

Claim:
An information processing method implemented in an information processing apparatus, for printing document data which includes a plurality of address expressions, wherein each address expression respectively designates an address on a network of corresponding image data which can be accessed via the network, comprising: a detection step of detecting each address expression described in the document data when a print instruction of the document data is issued; a setting step of setting a caption expression for each of the image data corresponding to each of the detected address expressions, wherein each respective caption expression is different from the corresponding detected address expression; a replacing step of replacing each detected address expression in the document data with the respective caption expression set in the setting step; an acquisition step of acquiring each of the image data via the network using the respective detected address expression; an embedding step of embedding each respective caption expression in the corresponding image data; a print data generation step of generating print data by embedding the image data having the embedded caption expression at a predetermined position in the document data having the caption expression replaced in the replacing step; and a print step of printing the print data and outputting the printed data as a visualized document, wherein the visualized document visibly comprises both the caption expression replaced in the replacing step and the caption expression embedded in the image data in the embedding step.
