Patent ID: 8514416

Claim:
An information processing apparatus which includes a raster data creation unit configured to convert data in a format which is described by a page description language into raster data, the apparatus comprising: a creation unit, configured to create object region data in the format based on processing target data, wherein the object region data includes an object for indicating a position of a region of a specific object contained in the processing target data, and wherein the object included in the object region data indicates the position in a page represented by the processing target data; an obtaining unit configured to obtain first and second raster data, wherein the first raster data is created by converting the processing target data including the specific object by the raster data creation unit according to a print setting regarding a region where the specific object is rasterized, and the second raster data is created by converting the object region data including the object by the raster data creation unit according to the same print setting as the print setting used for converting regarding the layout of the region where the specific object is rasterized; and a specifying unit, configured to specify a position of the region where the object included in the object region data is rasterized by the raster data creation unit in a page represented by the obtained second raster data, to specify a position of a region where the specific object is rasterized in a page represented by the obtained first raster data, wherein a processing that uses the position of the region where the specific object is rasterized is applied to the first raster data, the position having been specified by the specifying unit.
