<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image formation apparatus which can carry out image formation by directly receiving a document file such as a PDF file even when a storage part has a small usable capacity. <P>SOLUTION: When a memory overflow takes place, a printer 10A applies identification names to contents objects (objects 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9) included in composition data of the PDF file 42 stored in a RAM 103, and sequentially outputs the objects (521-526). Data of the outputted contents objects is deleted from the RAM 103, and composition data of the succeeding PDF file 42 is received. Finally, a list is formed and outputted on the basis of the identification names of the contents objects, and information on page objects and a page list object (527). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
