Abstract

A document data processing apparatus comprising: an obtaining portion for obtaining transmitted document data; a giving portion for giving the obtained document data multiple pieces of recommended information to recommend an operation when outputting; and a transmitting portion for transmitting document data to a destination, the document data carrying multiple pieces of given recommended information.

Claims

1. A document data processing apparatus comprising:

an obtaining portion for obtaining transmitted document data;

a giving portion for giving the obtained document data multiple pieces of recommended information to recommend an operation when outputting; and

a transmitting portion for transmitting document data to a destination, said document data carrying multiple pieces of given recommended information.

2. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1,

wherein said recommended information contains one or more operations when outputting or information that shows a portion to be printed or displayed outstandingly.

3. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1,

wherein said recommended information is given to said document data independently.

4. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1,

wherein said recommended information is embedded with said document data.

5. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a storage memory for storing said recommended information independently.

6. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a limit giving portion for giving limit of output of the document data by the recommended information.

7. A document data processing apparatus comprising:

a receiving portion for receiving document data given multiple pieces of recommended information to recommend an operation when outputting;

a selecting portion for selecting desired recommended information from among multiple pieces of recommended information given to said received document data;

an outputting portion for outputting said received document data; and

a controlling portion for controlling output of said outputting portion based on selected recommended information.

8. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 7,

wherein said recommended information contains one or more operations when outputting or information that shows a portion to be printed or displayed outstandingly.

9. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 7,

wherein said recommended information is given to said document data independently.

10. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 7,

wherein said recommended information is embedded with said document data.

11. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 7,

wherein said recommended information has recommended mode name, and a

recipient selects the desired recommended information by selecting the recommended mode name.

12. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 11,

wherein said recommended information contains comments that indicate contents of the recommended mode name.

13. The document data processing apparatus as claimed in claim 7, in case of the document data given limit of output of the document data by the recommended information, said controlling portion controls output of the outputting portion based on a given limit.

14. A document data processing system comprising:

a document data processing apparatus on sender side which comprises;

an obtaining portion for obtaining transmitted document data;

a giving portion for giving the obtained document data multiple pieces of recommended information to recommend an operation when outputting; and

a transmitting portion for transmitting document data to a destination, said document data carrying multiple pieces of given recommended information, and

a document data processing apparatus on recipient side which comprises;

a receiving portion for receiving document data given multiple pieces of recommended information to recommend an operation when outputting;

a selecting portion for selecting desired recommended information from among multiple pieces of recommended information given to said received document data;

an outputting portion for outputting said received document data; and

a controlling portion for controlling document data to a destination, said document data carrying multiple pieces of given recommended information.

15. The document data processing system as claimed in claim 14,

wherein said recommended information is given to said document data independently.

16. The document data processing system as claimed in claim 14,

wherein said recommended information is embedded with said document data.

17. The document data processing system as claimed in claim 14,

wherein a document data processing apparatus on sender side which further comprises a storage memory for storing said recommended information independently.

18. The document data processing system as claimed in claim 14,

wherein said recommended information has recommended mode name, and a

recipient selects the desired recommended information by selecting the recommended mode name in a document data processing apparatus on sender side.

19. The document data processing system as claimed in claim 18,

wherein said recommended information contains comments that indicate contents of the recommended mode name.

20. The document data processing system as claimed in claim 14,

wherein a document data processing apparatus on sender side which further comprises a limit giving portion for giving limit of output of the document data by the recommended information.

21. The document data processing system as claimed in claim 14,

in case of the document data given limit of output of the document data by the recommended information, said controlling portion in a document data processing apparatus on recipient side controls output of outputting portion based on a given limit.

22. A computer program embodied in a computer readable medium for performing the steps of:

obtaining transmitted document data;

giving the obtained document data multiple pieces of recommended information to recommend an operation when outputting; and

transmitting document data to a destination, said document data carrying multiple pieces of given recommended information.

23. A computer program embodied in a computer readable medium for performing the steps of:

receiving document data given multiple pieces of recommended information to recommend an operation when outputting;

selecting desired recommended information from among multiple pieces of recommended information given to said received document data;
