Image processing apparatus and operations of selecting compression scheme to generate compressed file

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes: a processor configured to receive selection of one of options including a first-kind option and a second-kind option, and receive designation of a saving format and a compression level; acquire scan data generated; and generate a compressed file by compressing the scan data, wherein in a case where the first-kind option is selected and where a specific saving format is designated as the saving format, the processor configured to generate the compressed file by using a first compression scheme, regardless of the designated compression level. In a case where the second-kind option is selected and where the specific saving format is designated as the saving format, the processor configured to select one compression scheme from the first compression scheme and the second compression scheme, according to the designated compression level, and generate the compressed file by using the selected compression scheme.

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to: receive selection of one option from a plurality of options including a first-kind option, which indicates a mode for a user who has a relatively-good knowledge about generation of the scan data, and a second-kind option, which indicates a mode for a user who has a relatively-poor knowledge about generation of the scan data, with respect to a user interface mode, and receive designation of a saving format for a compressed file and designation of a compression level of the compressed file; acquire scan data generated by optical reading of a document; and generate a compressed file by compressing the scan data, wherein in a case where the first-kind option is selected and where a PDF format, which is different from a high-compression PDF format, is designated as the saving format for the compressed file, the processor is configured to generate the compressed file by using a first compression scheme, regardless of the designated compression level, wherein in a case where the second-kind option is selected and where the PDF format, which is different from a high-compression PDF format, is designated as the saving format for the compressed file, the processor is configured to select one compression scheme from the first compression scheme and the second compression scheme, according to the designated compression level, and generate the compressed file by using the selected one compression scheme; and, wherein the second compression scheme is a scheme of dividing the scan data into character image data representing a character image and background image data representing a background image and then respectively compressing the character image data and the background image data, and wherein the first compression scheme is a scheme of compressing the scan data, without dividing the scan data into the character image data and the background image data.
