Patent ID: 8553265

Claim:
An image processing system including an image forming apparatus and an image processing apparatus connected via a network, wherein the image forming apparatus comprises: a receiving portion configured to receive a designation of a workflow which is produced by arbitrarily assembling at least a plug-in of an image dividing and converting process for image data and a plug-in of an output process and includes an image dividing and converting process for dividing the image data; a setting portion configured to set up dividing positional information designating an arbitrary dividing position, at which the image data are to be arbitrarily divided; and a communicating portion configured to transmit a request for processing the workflow to the image processing apparatus along with the image data received from the image forming apparatus, the request for processing including the set up dividing positional information, wherein the image processing apparatus comprises: a workflow controlling portion configured to carry out any one of the image dividing and converting process, the output process, and a divided image dividing and converting process included in the workflow when a request for carrying out the any one of the image dividing and converting process, the output process, and the image dividing and converting process is received from the image forming apparatus; and a workflow processing portion configured to carry out the workflow while dividing the image data by using a length of a longitudinal side of the image data based on a control with the workflow controlling portion and to divide the image data based on the set up dividing positional information.
