Information processing apparatus, PDL data conversion method, and storage medium

摘要

An information processing apparatus that converts PDL data into PDL data having a hierarchical structure is provided. The information processing apparatus: acquires the number of records in PDL data and creates a template including nodes in a record layer, which correspond to records in a one-to-one relationship and are equal to the number of records, based on the number of records; inputs PDL data and acquires relational information indicating the relation between a page and a record both included in PDL data; adds nodes in a lower layer of the record layer, which are linked with the nodes in the record layer included in the created template, and sets attribute information about PDL data to each of the nodes in the lower layer of the record layer; and maps each page included in PDL data to each node in the lower layer of the record layer based on relational information.

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a reception unit configured to receive a designation of the number of records of first PDL data including a plurality of records from a user; a first creation unit configured to create a structure including nodes in a record layer, which correspond to the plurality of records in a one-to-one relationship and are equal in number to the number of the plurality of records, and to add nodes in a lower layer of the record layer, which are linked with the nodes in the record layer, to the structure; and a second creation unit configured to map each page included in the first PDL data to each node in the lower layer of the record layer based on the relation between the plurality of records and pages included in the first PDL data to thereby create second PDL data which is different from the first PDL data and has a hierarchical structure with respect to the pages.
