Image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing program

摘要

A print data processing apparatus 2 which can perform a highly reliable digital print inspection at increased speed for variable printing includes an image processor 20 as a functional construction. This image processor 20 has an attribute information acquiring unit 21 for acquiring attribute information including arrangement information of objects constituting each page of the manuscript data, an extracting unit 22 for extracting at least one page per reuse part object from among pages including reuse part objects, a reference data creating unit 23 for creating reference data expressing an image state of the manuscript data, an RIP processing unit 24 for performing RIP processing of the manuscript data, an area specifying unit 25 for specifying areas of image data to be compared in the print inspecting process, and an image comparing unit 28 for comparing, by applying a compare algorithm, images in the areas specified by the area specifying unit 25.
