<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an output data generation device, an output data generation method and an output data generation program for shortening time for generating output data to be output to an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: When print data are interpreted which include shared data shared among two or more page data and two or more page data including reference information showing that the shared data are referred to, and the shared data included in the print data are interpreted, output data are generated based on the interpretation result and the generated output data are stored. When the reference information on the page data is interpreted, the stored output data is read and transferred to the image forming apparatus, thus preventing repeated execution of interpretation of the shared data and generation of the output data concerning the same shared data many times every time the reference information is interpreted and shortening time for generating the output data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
