The document storage unit 22 stores data files relating to documents. For example, folders are set hierarchically, and document files or folders are stored in the respective folders. The output file storage unit 24 stores a file of a predetermined format output by the output unit 16 according to the output setting when the output type is set to file output by the output condition setting.
[0025]
Next, the operation of the document output apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, it is assumed that the document output program has been added to the DTP application and has been activated together with the DTP application.
[0026]
First, the output setting saving process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0027]
For example, the output setting saving process can be started by menu selection during execution of the DTP application. It is assumed that the output setting save button is selected from a menu provided in the DTP application (step A2) while the document file is opened by the DTP application and the process for the document is being executed (step A1).
[0028]
When the output setting save button is selected, the output setting unit 10 displays an output setting screen on the display device (Step A3).
[0029]
FIG. 4 shows an example of an output setting screen according to the present embodiment.

On the output setting screen, a paper setting button G3 for designating a paper size for print output, a printer setting button G4 for setting a printer device to be used for print output, an output setting save process , And a save execution button G6 for saving the contents of the current output settings.
[0031]
When the output setting item G1 is clicked using, for example, a mouse, the output setting selection unit 12 causes the output setting name (file name) stored in the output setting storage unit 20 to be displayed by a pull-down menu. When the output setting name (file name) is selected from the pull-down menu, the output setting selection unit 12 reads the selected output setting file from the output setting storage unit 20, and based on the contents of the output setting. Each item in the detailed specification column G2 is set. Here, designation for changing the content of the output setting can be made in the detail designation column G2.
[0032]
Here, when the save button G6 is selected, the output setting unit 10 allows the user to input a name (file name) for the output setting, attaches the input name (file name) to the currently opened document. Independently from the output setting storage unit 20 (step A5). If the name (file name) of the output setting is not changed, it means that the content of the existing output setting has been changed. If the name (file name) has been changed, the new output setting is changed. You have memorized it.
[0033]
Next, a batch output process for simultaneously outputting a plurality of documents using the output settings stored in the output setting storage unit 20 will be described with reference to the flowchart illustrated in FIG.
[0034]
For example, the batch output process can be activated by menu selection during execution of the DTP application. Here, it is assumed that a batch output button (batch print) is selected from a menu provided in the DTP application while a process on a document is being executed by the DTP application (step B1).
[0035]
When the execution of the batch output process is instructed, the output setting unit 10 displays an output condition setting screen on the display device, and inputs the output conditions through the output condition setting screen. In the output condition setting, a document to be printed is also selected (step B2).
[0036]
FIG. 5 shows an example of an output condition setting screen according to the present embodiment. The output condition setting screen shown in FIG. 5 is provided with a document list display area for displaying a list of documents to be output, and includes a document number D1 indicating the number of documents selected as print targets, List list area D2 in which a list of documents being displayed is displayed, buttons D3 and D4 for increasing the output order by one for a specific document specified in the list list area D2, and a folder including a document to be output. A processing document selection button D5 for instructing selection execution, a deletion button D6 for deleting the currently selected document from the list, and an all deletion button D7 for deleting all the currently selected documents are provided. ing.
[0037]
When the processing document selection button D5 is selected, the output target selection unit 14 displays a processing folder selection dialog, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, and through this processing folder selection dialog, selects a folder including a document to be output. Let me choose. In the processing folder selection dialog, the folder set in the storage device (hard disk device) is displayed, and the folder including the document to be output can be arbitrarily selected.
[0038]
The processing folder selection dialog includes a folder designation field E1 for designating a folder, a list display area E2 in which a list of lower folders (or file names) included in the folder designated in the folder designation field E1 is displayed, A folder selection button E3 for selecting and determining all folders (or files) displayed in the list display area E2 as output targets is provided. When the folder selection button E3 is designated, the files included in the folder displayed in the list display area E2 are displayed as document files to be output in the list list area D2 in the output condition setting screen.

In the processing folder selection dialog, a desktop button E4 for designating the highest storage area (desktop) of the storage device (hard disk device), a cancel button E5 for instructing to stop output document selection, and a list display area E2 An open button E6 for displaying folders or files included in the folder selected in the list display area E2 is provided.
[0039]
When a folder is specified in the folder specification field E1, the output target selection unit 14 displays folders (or file names) included in the specified folder in the list display area E2. Then, when a folder is designated in the list display area E2 and an open button E6 is instructed, the output target selection unit 14 displays a list of the file names of the documents included in the designated folder in the list display area E2. Therefore, a folder (or file) to be output from a folder set in the storage device (hard disk device) can be arbitrarily displayed in the list display area E2. When the folder selection button E3 is selected for all the folders (or files) displayed in the list display area E2, the output target selection unit 14 includes the folders (or files) included in the folder displayed in the list display area E2. The displayed file is displayed in the list list area D2 in the output condition setting screen.
[0040]
The list displayed in the list list area D2 indicates the document output order. When the file name to be changed is selected from the list and the up button D3 or the down button D4 is selected, the output target selection unit 14 moves the display position of the selected file name up and down in the list, and outputs the selected file name. To change. When a file name is selected from the list and the delete button D6 is pressed, the output target selection unit 14 deletes the corresponding file name from the list and excludes the output file from the list. When the all delete button D7 is pressed, the output target selection unit 14 deletes all the file names in the list to make the list empty, so that the list can be created again.
[0041]
In this way, even if the documents to be output are stored in the document storage unit 22 as independent files, they can be collectively selected as output targets using common output settings.
[0042]
Note that the output target selection unit 14 displays only a file of a document created by the DTP application or a folder including the file in the list display area E2 according to the DTP application currently being executed. The output target selection unit 14 refers to, for example, the extension of the file name attached to the file of the document stored in the document storage unit 22 or the attribute information for the file, and obtains a list corresponding to the DTP application currently being executed. It is determined whether the file is a document file to be displayed inside. As a result, documents to be output from the DTP application are narrowed down, and selection of a document to be output can be facilitated.
[0043]
In the output condition setting screen, an output setting selection item D8 for selecting the output setting saved by the output setting saving process, an output type selection item D9 for selecting the output type, and an output for designating the output unit are provided. Unit selection item D10, storage file name format selection item D11 for selecting a storage file name format when the output type is file output, storage for selecting an output destination folder when the output type is file output Destination folder selection button D12, storage destination folder display field D13 in which the folder name of the output destination is displayed, execute button D14 for executing the output of the document displayed in the document list, cancel button for stopping the output of the document D15 is provided.
[0044]
The output setting unit 10 causes the output setting selection item D8 to select an output setting commonly used for a plurality of documents indicated by the file names displayed in the list list area D2 when outputting to a printer or outputting a file.
[0045]
The output setting unit 10 allows the user to select one of print output from the printer device and file output in a specific data format in the output type selection item D9. The specific data format includes a data format (for example, EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), PS (PostScript), etc.) having an image similar to that when a document is printed out, and a data format used in a specific application.
[0046]
In addition, when file output is designated as the output type, the output setting unit 10 sets the output unit selection item D10 as a document unit for outputting one document as one file or a page unit included in the document as one file. Select one of the output page units.
[0047]
The output setting unit 10 sets the serial number (1, 2, 3,...) In order from the first page of the document as the save file name format when the output type is file output in the save file name format selection item D11. "Page number", "section number" for obtaining a page section number and obtaining a file name, and "output order" for adding serial numbers (1, 2, 3,...) In the order of output pages. Is selected.
[0048]
The contents selected in the output type selection item D9, the output unit selection item D10, and the storage file name format selection item D11 are not limited to the above-described example, and can be set arbitrarily.
[0049]
Further, when the save destination folder selection button D12 is selected, the output setting unit 10 selects a save destination folder selection dialog as shown in FIG. 7 for selecting an output destination folder when the output type is file output. Is displayed.
[0050]
In the save destination folder selection dialog, a folder set in the storage device (hard disk device) is displayed, and a folder as a save destination of a file converted according to the output setting can be arbitrarily selected. Here, it is assumed that a folder corresponding to the output file storage unit 24 and lower folders included in this folder can be arbitrarily selected.
[0051]
The save destination folder selection dialog includes a folder designation field F1 for designating a folder, a list display area F2 in which a list of lower folders included in the folder designated in the folder designation field F1 is displayed, and a list display area F2. A storage folder selection button F3 for selecting and determining the folder specified in the above as a storage folder is provided. The save destination folder selection dialog includes a desktop button F4 for designating the topmost storage area (desktop) of the storage device (hard disk device), a new folder button F5 for instructing new creation of a folder, and a save destination folder name. A cancel button F6 for giving an instruction to stop selection and an open button F7 for displaying a folder (or file) included in the folder selected in the list display area F2 in the list display area F2 are provided. When an arbitrary save destination folder is selected and the select button F3 is instructed, the output setting unit 10 sets the folder name of the save destination folder specified in the list display area F2 to the save destination folder in the output condition setting screen. It is displayed in the display field D13.
[0052]
If the cancel button D15 is selected on the output setting screen, the output conditions set so far are discarded, and the batch output processing ends.
[0053]
After the output condition is set on the output condition setting screen and the execute button D14 is selected, the output setting unit 12 selects the output setting specified by the output setting selection item D8 from the output setting storage unit 20. To the output unit 16 (step B3).
[0054]
The output unit 16 performs an output process on all of the plurality of documents selected by the output target selection unit 14 in accordance with one common output setting in accordance with the output setting selected by the output setting selection unit 12. . That is, when the printer output is set as the output type, each document is sequentially printed out on a paper medium according to the output setting, and when the file output is set as the output type, the document is output. A file (for example, an EPS file or a PS file) obtained by converting the content of the document into a specific data format is generated for each document, and is saved in a save destination folder specified through an output condition setting screen of the output file storage unit 24. When files are saved, file names according to the save file name format selected in the save file name format selection item D11 on the output condition setting screen are attached to the respective files and stored in the output file storage unit 24. .
[0055]
As described above, the output of the document using the selected output setting is repeatedly executed for each of the selected documents, and the batch output process ends when the processes for all the documents to be output are completed (step B4, B5, B6).
[0056]
As described above, conventionally, the output setting is performed for each independently stored document, but the document output device of the present embodiment collectively outputs the documents to be output. Since a plurality of documents can be selected and output using a common output setting for the plurality of documents, the work load can be greatly reduced. At this time, since the same output setting is correctly used for all the plurality of documents, no error occurs in the output setting.
[0057]
In the above description, a document created by the DTP application is described as an output target. However, a document created by another application can be output as described above.
[0058]
Further, in the above description, the function provided by the document output program in the present embodiment is added to a specific application (DTP application in the present embodiment) and added to the output of a document created by the specific application. Although described as being used, it may be shared for output of documents created by a plurality of applications.
[0059]
For example, a batch output process of outputting documents created by a plurality of applications can be executed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. It is assumed that documents created by a plurality of applications are stored in the document storage unit 22, for example, in a single folder.

Shall be stored.
[0060]
The batch output process is started by selecting the batch output button (batch print) from the menu during the execution of the application in the same manner as described above (step C1).
[0061]
When the execution of the batch output process is instructed, the output setting unit 10 displays an output condition setting screen on the display device, and inputs the output conditions through the output condition setting screen. In the output condition setting, a document to be printed is also selected (step C2). Note that the output condition setting is executed in the same manner as the batch output process described with reference to FIG.
[0062]
However, in the above description, when the folder to be output stored in the document storage unit 22 is specified, only the file name of the document corresponding to the specific application (DTP application) is displayed in the document list. The file names of all the documents included in the specified folder are displayed.
[0063]
Here, the output setting unit 10 causes the output setting selection item D8 on the output condition setting screen to select an output setting corresponding to the type of document to be output displayed in the list list area D2. Here, when the execution button D14 is selected, the output setting unit 12 selects an output setting corresponding to the type of the document specified by the output setting selection item D8 from the output setting storage unit 20 and sends the output setting to the output unit 16. Provide (Step C3).
[0064]
Hereinafter, in the same manner as the processing described with reference to FIG. 3A, the output of the document using the selected output setting is repeatedly executed for each of the selected documents, and the processing for all the documents to be output is completed. At this point, the batch output process ends (steps C4, C5, C6, C7). However, when outputting the document, the output unit 16 determines the type of the document (Step C5), and outputs the document using the output setting selected corresponding to the type of the document (Step C6). .
[0065]
In this way, a plurality of output settings according to the type of document are stored in the output setting storage unit 20, and when a plurality of types of documents to be output are selected, the type of each document is selected. Is selected, and the output of the document is executed using the output setting according to the type of the document when the document is output. Therefore, even if a plurality of types of documents are mixed in a document to be output, it is possible to collectively execute output of documents according to one output setting for each type of document.
[0066]
The document output program may be executed by being added to a specific application as described above, or may be executed independently without depending on the specific application. In this case, the document may be shared by a plurality of applications, or when activated through an application that is being executed (active), a document created by the application may be targeted for printing.
[0067]
In addition, the method described in the above-described embodiment can be used as a document output program that can be executed by a computer, for example, recording on a magnetic disk (flexible disk, hard disk, etc.), optical disk (CD-ROM, DVD, etc.), semiconductor memory The data can be written on a medium and provided to various devices.
