IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF EXECUTING A WORKFLOW, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to input document data;
a transmission unit configured to transmit the document data input by said input unit to an external system;
a workflow execution unit configured to execute a workflow which is defined as a series of processes that can include a process for inputting the document data by said input unit and a process for transmitting the document data to the external system by said transmission unit;
a document format acquisition unit configured to acquire a document format of the document data required by the external system, from the external system; and
a document format judgment unit configured to judge, when the series of processes include the process for transmitting the document data to the external system, whether or not the document data to be transmitted by said transmission unit satisfies the document format acquired by said document format acquisition unit.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus which is capable of transmitting document data in a proper document format to an external system. An original input section inputs document data. A document data transmission section transmits the input document data to the system. A workflow execution section executes a workflow defined as a series of processes that can include a process for inputting the document data, and a process for transmitting the document data to the external system. A document format acquisition section acquires a document format of the document data required by the system, from the system. When the workflow execution section executes the workflow including the process for transmitting the document data to the external system, a document format check section judges whether or not the document data to be transmitted satisfies the acquired document format.

7. A method of executing a workflow in an image processing apparatus, comprising:
-
inputting document data; transmitting the document data input by said inputting; executing a workflow defined as a series of processes that can include a process for inputting the document data, for said inputting, and a process for transmitting the document data to the external system, for said transmitting; acquiring a document format of the document data required by the external system, from the external system; and judging, when the series of processes include the process for transmitting the document data to the external system, whether or not the document data to be transmitted by said transmitting satisfies the document format acquired by said acquiring of the document format.

8. A computer-readable storage medium storing a control program for causing a computer to execute a method of executing a workflow in an image processing apparatus,
wherein the method comprises: -
inputting document data; transmitting the document data input by said inputting; executing a workflow defined as a series of processes that can include a process for inputting the document data, for said inputting, and a process for transmitting the document data to the external system, for said transmitting; acquiring a document format of the document data required by the external system, from the external system; and judging, when the series of processes include the process for transmitting the document data to the external system, whether or not the document data to be transmitted by said transmitting satisfies the document format acquired by said acquiring of the document format.
