PAGE DATA GENERATION APPARATUS, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND PAGE DATA GENERATION METHOD
A nested relationship acquisition part ( 21 ) of a page data generation part ( 2 ) acquires a nested relationship among a plurality of page components within page data ( 32 ) that uses the page components having the nested relationship. A modified page data generation part ( 22 ) generates hierarchical structure display information ( 331 ) on the basis of the nested relationship and adds the hierarchical structure display information ( 331 ) to the page data ( 32 ) so as to easily generate modified page data file ( 33 ) that enables the nested relationship among the page components to be displayed as a hierarchical structure. An operator can easily notice a problem with the page data ( 32 ) through the displayed hierarchical structure in a short time.
1 . A page data generation apparatus comprising:
a nested relationship acquisition part for acquiring a nested relationship among a plurality of page components that are used in page data; and
a modified page data generation part for generating hierarchical structure display information on the basis of said nested relationship and adding said hierarchical structure display information to said page data to generate modified page data that enables said nested relationship among said plurality of page components to be displayed as a hierarchical structure.
2 . The page data generation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
said hierarchical structure display information includes structure information and association information,
said structure information indicating a parent-child relationship among a plurality of elements in said hierarchical structure, and
said association information associating each element in said hierarchical structure with a page component corresponding to said each element.
3 . The page data generation apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
said modified page data generation part gives said each element in said hierarchical structure a name that includes an identifier of the page component corresponding to said each element.
4 . The page data generation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
said page data that indicates one page is part of page group data that indicates many pages, and
said plurality of page components within said page data include a page component reused in page data that is included in said page group data and that indicates another page.
5 . The page data generation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
said page data and said modified page data are in Portable Document Format.
6 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to generate page data, said program causing the computer to execute:
a) acquiring a nested relationship among a plurality of page components that are used in page data; and
b) generating hierarchical structure display information on the basis of said nested relationship and adding said hierarchical structure display information to said page data to generate modified page data that enables said nested relationship among said plurality of page components to be displayed as a hierarchical structure.
7 . The recording medium according to claim 6 , wherein
said hierarchical structure display information includes structure information and association information,
said structure information indicating a parent-child relationship among a plurality of elements in said hierarchical structure, and
said association information associating each element in said hierarchical structure with a page component corresponding to said each element.
8 . The recording medium according to claim 7 , wherein
in said operation b), said each element in said hierarchical structure is given a name that includes an identifier of a page component corresponding to said each element.
9 . The recording medium according to claim 6 , wherein
said page data that indicates one page is part of page group data that indicates many pages, and
said plurality of page components within said page data includes a page component reused in page data that is included in said page group data and that indicates another page data.
10 . The recording medium according to claim 6 , wherein
said page data and said modified page data are in Portable Document Format.
11 . A page data generation method used in a page data generation apparatus comprising:
a) acquiring a nested relationship among a plurality of page components that are used in page data; and
b) generating hierarchical structure display information on the basis of said nested relationship and adding said hierarchical structure display information to said page data to generate modified page data that enables said nested relationship among said plurality of page components to be displayed as a hierarchical structure.
12 . The page data generation method according to claim 11 , wherein
said hierarchical structure display information includes structure information and association information,
said structure information indicating a parent-child relationship among a plurality of elements in said hierarchical structure, and
said association information associating each element in said hierarchical structure with a page component corresponding to said each element.
13 . The page data generation method according to claim 12 , wherein
in said operation b), said each element in said hierarchical structure is given a name that includes an identifier of a page component corresponding to said each element.
14 . The page data generation method according to claim 11 , wherein
said page data that indicates one page is part of page group data that indicates many pages, and
said plurality of page components within said page data includes a page component reused in page data that is included in said page group data and that indicates another page data.
15 . The page data generation method according to claim 11 , wherein
said page data and said modified page data are in Portable Document Format.
