ABSTRACT:
There are disclosed a method and apparatus for outputting a document in which a character area and an image area mixedly exist, wherein the character area and the image area are discriminated and a document is outputted in a manner such that the smoothing process is automatically executed in the character area and is not performed in the image area, on the basis of the result of the discrimination, in the case where the resolution is changed. Thus, the document can be generated at a high quality by the smoothing process, as if the document were generated at an output resolution which is equal to or higher than the actual output resolution.
