An intermediate-language creating unit analyzes a page description language to create an intermediate language having information of all CMYK printing versions. An intermediate-language storing unit stores the intermediate language created. A drawing-version setting unit sets each of the CMYK printing versions to be drawn with the intermediate language. An image-data creating unit analyzes the intermediate language stored to create image data for at least one printing version for creating the image data. An image-data storing unit stores the image data created. A drawing-version control unit recognizes the printing version to be drawn set by the drawing-version setting unit, and reads the intermediate language stored for a plurality of times.
