Document processing apparatus and a method for controlling a document processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A document processing apparatus, in which document data having a tree structure made up of a plurality of hierarchical levels and allowing print attributes to be associated with nodes at each hierarchical level can be operated upon by a printer driver used to handle the print attributes, the apparatus comprising:
- a document reading unit configured to read the document data in accordance with a read instruction;
an attribute reading unit configured to read print attributes associated with the nodes in the document data read by the document reading unit;
an extracting unit configured to extract an exception setting different from the print attributes associated with the whole document from among the print attributes read by the attribute reading unit; and
a first displaying unit configured to display the exception setting extracted by the extracting unit in the user interface of the printer driver.

Abstract
The present invention enables page-level or document-level print setup of an XPS document via a user interface. The print ticket of a page of interest is obtained by merging a job-level print ticket 1804, to which the page of interest belongs, a document-level print ticket 1805, to which the page of interest belongs, and a page-level print ticket 1806 of the page of interest. The obtained individual page print tickets are compared with the job-level print ticket and if there are differences, it is determined that this particular page has exception settings and the exception settings are saved and displayed.

5. A method for controlling a document processing apparatus, in which document data having a tree structure made up of a plurality of hierarchical levels and allowing print attributes to be associated with nodes at each hierarchical level can be operated upon by a printer driver used to handle the print attributes, the method comprising:
-
a document reading step, in which document reading unit reads the document data in accordance with a read instruction entered through a user interface; an attribute reading step, in which attribute reading unit reads print attributes associated with the nodes in the document data read in the document reading step; an extraction step, in which extracting unit extracts an exception setting different from the print attributes associated with the whole document from among the print attributes read in the attribute reading step; and a first displaying step, in which first displaying unit displays the exception setting extracted in the extraction step in the user interface of the printer driver. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A non transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for making a computer execute a method for controlling a document processing apparatus, in which document data having a tree structure made up of a plurality of hierarchical levels and allowing print attributes to be associated with nodes at each hierarchical level can be operated upon by a printer driver used to handle the print attributes, the method comprising:
-
a document reading step, in which document reading unit reads the document data in accordance with a read instruction entered through a user interface; an attribute reading step, in which attribute reading unit reads print attributes associated with the nodes in the document data read in the document reading step; an extraction step, in which extracting unit extracts an exception setting different from the print attributes associated with the whole document from among the print attributes read in the attribute reading step; and a first displaying step, in which first displaying unit displays the exception setting extracted in the extraction step in the user interface of the printer driver.
