Claim:
An image processing system including at least one image forming apparatus, and at least one information processing apparatus, wherein data is transmitted from the information processing apparatus to the image forming apparatus, to carry out printing by the image forming apparatus based on the data, wherein the information processing apparatus comprises: a data input device that inputs data; an extracting device that extracts at least one object from the data inputted by said input device; a designating device that designates at least one object to be reduced or enlarged, out of the extracted object; an object scaling device that reduces or enlarges the object designated by said designating device; a searching device that searches the data including the reduced or enlarged object to find at least one blank part in the data; a priority input device that inputs whether the object-appearance order is to be prioritized or the sheet-saving efficiency is to be prioritized; an object moving device that moves the reduced or enlarged object to the found blank part in accordance with inputting by the priority input device, wherein when the priority input device inputs that the sheet-saving efficiency is to be prioritized, the object moving device moves an object which is closest in size to the found blank part to the found blank part with the sheet-saving efficiency prioritized; and a deleting device that deletes a blank part generated on the data from the data after the reduced or enlarged object has been moved.
