Information processing apparatus for converting an original document having a format into a file having a different format and information processing method
A common file is generated by converting an original document into a format that can be uniformly handled by an application. When the common file is shifted to an editable state based on an instruction for the generated common file, the original document is stored in the common file. On the other hand, when the common file is not shifted to an editable state based on the instruction, the original document is not stored in the common file.
