Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a selection section. When the information processing apparatus makes an image forming apparatus perform image formation on a presentation file including first information on a first output image and second information on a second target output image associated with the first output image based on the first information and the second information, the selection section selects a target output image on which the image formation is performed from among the second output image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus that creates data for image formation based on a file created by an application capable of selectively adding notes to pages comprising slides, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a controller that:
selects a first page that comprises a slide created by the application and a note corresponding to the slide and created by the application for the slide image-formed next to the slide;
with respect to the selected first page, secures a slide drawing area for the slide and a note drawing area for the note next to each other;
with respect to a second page that comprises a slide but not a note corresponding to the slide and that has a following page comprising a slide but not a note corresponding to the slide, secures a slide drawing area for the slide of the second page and a slide drawing area for the slide of the following page, which follows the second page, next to each other without securing a note drawing area; and
with respect to a third page that comprises a slide but not a note corresponding to the slide and that has a following page comprising a slide and a note corresponding to the slide, secures a slide drawing area for the slide of the third page and a blank area next to each other,
wherein a user independently selects each slide that will display a corresponding note area by inputting a specific slide number.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an operation section that receives a specification of the first page from a user, wherein
the controller secures, with respect to the first page specified by the user, the slide drawing area for the slide and the note drawing area for the note next to each other.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the file is in an OOXML format.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller sets a number of the slides and/or the notes to be image-formed on one sheet, and sets a disposition of the slides and/or the notes of the set number on the sheet.

5. An image forming apparatus comprising:
the information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ; and
a printer engine that performs the image formation on the basis of the data for the image formation, the data being created by the information processing apparatus.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the user inputs that, of the slides to be in the image formation, a corresponding note is displayed for only slides in which the corresponding note has content.

7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program that, when executed by an information processing apparatus, causes a controller of the information processing apparatus to create data for image formation based on a file created by an application capable of selectively adding notes to pages comprising slides, and further causes the controller to perform:
selecting a first page that comprises a slide created by the application and a note corresponding to the slide and created by the application for the slide image-formed next to the slide;
with respect to the selected first page, securing a slide drawing area for the slide and a note drawing area for the note next to each other;
with respect to a second page that comprises a slide but not a note corresponding to the slide and that has a following page comprising a slide but not a note corresponding to the slide, securing a slide drawing area for the slide of the second page and a slide drawing area for the slide of the following page, which follows the second page, next to each other without securing a note drawing area; and
with respect to a third page that comprises a slide but not a note corresponding to the slide and that has a following page comprising a slide and a note corresponding to the slide, securing a slide drawing area for the slide of the third page and a blank area next to each other,
wherein a user independently selects each slide that will display a corresponding note area by inputting a specific slide number.

8. The storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the program further causes:
an operation section of the information processing apparatus to perform receiving a specification of the first page from a user, and
the controller to perform securing, with respect to the first page specified by the user, the slide drawing area for the slide and the note drawing area for the note next to each other.

9. The storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the file is in an OOXML format.

10. The storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the program further causes the controller to perform setting a number of the slides and/or the notes to be image-formed on one sheet, and setting a disposition of the slides and/or the notes of the set number on the sheet.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the user inputs that, of the slides to be in the image formation, a corresponding note is displayed for only slides in which the corresponding note has content.

12. An information processing method for processing information performed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
creating data for image formation based on a file created by an application capable of selectively adding notes to pages comprising slides;
selecting a first page comprising a slide created by the application and a note corresponding to the slide and created by the application for the slide image-formed next to the slide;
with respect to the selected first page, securing a slide drawing area for the slide and a note drawing area for the note corresponding to the slide next to each other;
with respect to a second page that comprises a slide but not a note corresponding to the slide and that has a following page comprising a slide but not a note corresponding to the slide, secures a slide drawing area for the slide of the second page and a slide drawing area for the slide of the following page, which follows the second page, next to each other without securing a note drawing area; and
with respect to a third page that comprises a slide but not a note corresponding to the slide and that has a following page comprising a slide and a note corresponding to the slide, secures a slide drawing area for the slide of the third page and a blank area next to each other,
wherein a user independently selects each slide that will display a corresponding note area by inputting a specific slide number.

13. The information processing method according to claim 12 , wherein the user inputs that, of the slides to be in the image formation, a corresponding note is displayed for only slides in which the corresponding note has content.
