Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: an operation input device; a drawing command reception circuit that receives, based on an instruction to execute a printing job, a drawing command from an application program, and converts it into an intermediate code to output it; an intermediate code storage that stores the output intermediate code; a layout determination circuit that takes out the intermediate code from the storage and corrects it by rearranging it; and a PDL generation circuit that converts the corrected intermediate code into a PDL and outputs the PDL. The layout determination circuit keeps, when there is an instruction to accumulate the printing job, the intermediate code of the printing job in the storage, and takes out, when there is an instruction to not accumulate the printing job, the intermediate code from the storage and corrects it by rearranging it based on an instruction.
