20080212898 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image file may be stored in an image forming apparatus in both a device-specific and a general-purpose format. To appropriately select whether to store an image file in either or both formats, according to the image file being stored, an image forming apparatus that is connected to an external device inputs the image data via an image input unit, and uses a specific image generating unit to generate a P-JPEG data, a device-specific format. A general image generating unit generates a PDF data, in accordance with the P-JPEG data, that can be interpreted by the external device as well as the image forming apparatus, and both the P-JPEG data and the PDF data are stored in a storage unit. A control unit controls generating the PDF data by the general image generating unit, according to the box attributes of the storage unit. | 09-04-2008 |
