Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An information processing apparatus includes a reception unit receiving the number of sheet identifiers to be allocated to a form definition, a comparison unit comparing the number of sheet identifiers received by the reception unit with the number of usable sheet identifiers, an information allocation unit allocating the number of usable sheet identifiers being equal to or greater than the number of sheet identifiers received by the reception unit among the usable sheet identifiers as a definition identifier to the form definition when the comparison result of the comparison unit shows that the number of sheet identifiers received by the reception unit is equal to or less than the number of usable sheet identifiers, a prohibition unit excluding the sheet identifiers included in the definition identifier from the sheet identifiers to be allocated later, and an association unit associating the definition identifier with the form definition.
