The present invention provides an image processing device and an image
processing method, which prevent printing mishaps from occurring in
printed matter when a user performs a printing process by using a machine
plate without knowing a compressed image is included on a page layout. In
the print server, when a compressed image on a page layout is detected, a
warning is generated to request selection of the next process. For this
reason, when interruption of printing is designated, the printing process
is interrupted. Drawing using a warning color or application of an
outline is designated, and a drawing setting is performed according to
the designation. An output of a warning page is designated, and a setting
is performed such that a print output is obtained by either extracting a
compressed image or by deleting a compressed image.
