INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes a drawing resource acquisition unit that segments a common drawing resource in a first memory into drawing resource segments, successively acquires the drawing resource segments from the first memory, and stores the drawing resource segments in a second memory, a drawing data generating unit that generates the drawing data in a format supported by an image forming apparatus, using the drawing resource segments stored in the second memory, and a memory area releasing unit that releases part or whole of a memory area of one drawing resource segment, after the drawing data generating unit has generated the drawing data using the one drawing resource segment and before the drawing resource acquisition unit stores in the second memory another drawing resource segment acquired subsequent to the one drawing resource segment.

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a drawing resource acquisition unit that, when print data representing images of a plurality of pages is converted into drawing data, segments a common drawing resource in a first memory into drawing resource segments, successively acquires the drawing resource segments from the first memory, the first memory having stored the common drawing resource that is commonly used across the pages, and stores the drawing resource segments in a second memory; a drawing data generating unit that generates the drawing data in a format supported by an image forming apparatus, using the drawing resource segments stored in the second memory; and a memory area releasing unit that, if the drawing resource acquisition unit has acquired one drawing resource segment and has stored the one drawing resource segment in the second memory, releases part or whole of a memory area of the one drawing resource segment after the drawing data generating unit has generated the drawing data using the one drawing resource segment and before the drawing resource acquisition unit stores in the second memory another drawing resource segment acquired subsequent to the one drawing resource segment.
