An information processing apparatus for generating drawing data by using a print job including print data and setting information, includes a description detection unit detecting a characteristic description included in the print data; a conversion unit converting the print data, the characteristic description, and the setting information into an instruction group; and one or more drawing data generation units generating the drawing data by executing the instruction group.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a first drawing data generation unit associated with a first vendor; a second drawing data generation unit associated with a second vendor, wherein each drawing data generating unit is configured to generate drawing data by using a print job that includes Page Description Language (PDL) print data and Job Definition format (JDF) setting information; a description detection unit configured to detect a non-standard PDL command specific to the first vendor included in the PDL print data; and a conversion unit configured to convert the PDL print data, the non-standard PDL command specific to the first vendor, and the JDF setting information into an instruction group executed by the second drawing data generation unit associated with the second vendor.
