1. An information processing apparatus for outputting, to a printing device, document information comprising a plurality of pages output from an application, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- an instruction unit configured to provide an instruction to perform overlay printing using a form created from the document information;
a reconfiguration unit configured to, in response to the instruction to perform overlay printing provided by the instruction unit, compare objects contained in the document information and reconfigure the document information to a common drawing portion common to a plurality of pages and a difference drawing portion in which the common drawing portion common to the plurality of pages is removed from the document information; and
a job creation unit configured to create a form registration job based on the common drawing portion obtained by the reconfiguration unit and an overlay job based on the difference drawing portion obtained by the reconfiguration unit.

Abstract
When a printer driver receives print data from an application, a layout filter lays out pages. After that, when an overlay filter determines that automatic overlay printing is set, the overlay filter reconfigures the document structure of the print data. Then, a render filter performs printing on the reconfigured print data.
