Abstract

An image forming apparatus simplifies function customization or expansion, and enables accurate reproduction of conditions attached to a stored document without causing a strong dependency among individual components when the stored document is reutilized. The image processing apparatus includes a first filter that controls a data input process, and a second filter that controls a data output process, the first filter and the second filter constructing an application. A setting condition is set for each of the first filter and the second filter. In response to an instruction to register a stored document, a condition ID that is assigned to the setting condition is acquired. The condition ID and the image data are stored in a database in association with one another.
