Information processing apparatus and data processing method for inserting image information into a document by converting a size of the image information into a size suitable for an output paper size of the document

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory storing instructions related to a document processing application; and

a processor which is capable of executing the instructions causing the information processing apparatus to:

set a size of an output paper to be used for outputting document information;

receive an insert instruction of image information to be inserted as a new page into the document information;

calculate a size of the image information from a resolution and a number of pixels;

decide whether the calculated size exceeds a size limit of a page processible by the document processing application;

execute conversion processing for reducing the size of the image information based on the set size of the output paper if it is decided that the size of the image information exceeds the size limit,

wherein the conversion processing is executed according to a paper size of a system setting if the output paper size is not specified; and

insert the image information of which size is reduced by the conversion processing into the document information as the new page of the document information.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the document information includes a structured hierarchy.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the instructions further cause the information processing apparatus to set an output paper size as a system setting of an application which executes document processing.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the conversion processing is executed for reducing the size of the image information based on the output paper size set as the system setting, if the set size of the output paper is set to be an automatic setting.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the document information includes a chapter, and the instructions further cause the information processing apparatus to determine whether an output paper size is set to a chapter that is specified based on an insert position of the image information, and

wherein the conversion processing is executed to the image information based on the output paper size set to the specified chapter, in a case where it is determined that the output paper size is set to the specified chapter.

6. A data processing method for an information processing apparatus for executing a document processing application, the data processing method comprising:

setting a size of an output paper to be used for outputting document information;

receiving an insert instruction of image information to be inserted as a new page into the document information;

calculating a size of the image information from a resolution and a number of pixels;

deciding whether the calculated size exceeds a size limit of the page processible by the document processing application;

executing conversion processing for reducing the size of the image information based on the set size of the output paper if it is decided that the size of the image information exceeds the size limit,

wherein the conversion processing is executed according to a paper size of a system setting if the output paper size is not specified; and

inserting the image information of which size is reduced by the conversion processing into the document information as the new page of the document information.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for making a computer execute a data processing method for an information processing apparatus for executing a document processing application, the data processing method comprising:

setting a size of an output paper to be used for outputting document information;

receiving an insert instruction of image information to be inserted as a new page into the document information;

calculating a size of the image information from a resolution and a number of pixels;

deciding whether the calculated size exceeds a size limit of the page processible by the document processing application;

executing conversion processing for reducing the size of the image information based on the set size of the output paper if the it is decided that the size of the image information exceeds the size limit,

wherein the conversion processing is executed according to a paper size of a system setting if the output paper size is not specified; and

inserting the image information of which size is reduced by the conversion processing into the document information as the new page of the document information.
