A data transmission management device for managing a data transmission process via a network, comprising: an input device to input image data to be transmitted; a judgment unit to approve reuse of the data at a transmission destination based on a nature of the transmission destination of said data; and a data adjuster to adjust the data to be transmitted to said destination based on an approval of said judgment unit, wherein the data adjuster produces a reusable data file from the data, the reusable data file comprising multiple sets of data representing objects within the data, wherein the multiple sets of data within the reusable data file are parseable to be handled independently from one another at the transmission destination, when reuse of the data is approved, and the data adjuster produces a difficult-to-reuse data file from the data, the difficult-to-reuse data file comprising image data representing a graphical image of all the objects within the data to be transmitted, when reuse of the data is not approved.
