Abstract

A data processing apparatus includes a display portion, a control portion including a display control portion for causing the display portion to display a preview image of output target data, a touch sensor for receiving, on the display portion, a user operation for performing output setting for the output target data concerning the preview image, an output portion for outputting the output target data based on the output setting, and a control portion for, in a state where the display control portion arranges objects in page unit sequentially to be displayed as the preview image, when the touch sensor receives a predetermined pinch operation for the objects, performing page setting concerning the objects to be operated.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A data processing apparatus, comprising:
a display;
a display controller operable to cause the display to display a preview image of an image data;
a touch sensor operable to receive a touch operation by a user; and
a controller operable to, when the touch sensor receives a predetermined pinch operation to objects in a state where the display controller displays the objects in page unit as the preview image, perform page setting concerning the objects to be operated; wherein
when the touch sensor receives an operation for pinching out one of the objects as the predetermined pinch operation, the controller divides pages concerning the one object into two pages; and
when the touch sensor receives an operation for pinching out two adjacent objects selected from among the objects which are set to be stored as one file as the predetermined pinch operation, the controller divides the one file into two files at a border of the pages concerning the two adjacent objects.

2. A data processing apparatus, comprising:
a display;
a display controller operable to cause the display to display a preview image of an image data;
a touch sensor operable to receive a touch operation by a user; and
a controller operable to, when the touch sensor receives a predetermined pinch operation to objects in a state where the display controller displays the objects in page unit as the preview image, perform page setting concerning the objects to be operated; wherein
when the touch sensor receives an operation for pinching out two adjacent objects selected from among the objects which are set to be stored as one file as the predetermined pinch operation, the controller divides the one file into two files at a border of the pages concerning the two adjacent objects.
