PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that "date/time type" data among data acquired from a cloud platform service are always returned in UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated) regardless of the setting of the time zone information of the cloud platform service, that is, the "date/time type" data are output in the UTC even when the time zone of a user is set in the case of previewing and printing a generated document.SOLUTION: The document generation system is configured to, when document creation is instructed, determine whether or not "date/time type" data among data acquired from a cloud platform service have been acquired, and to, when it is determined that the "date/time type" data have been acquired, acquire the time zone information of a user set in the cloud platform service, and to store the time zone information of the user in a data file as well as the acquired data. When document generation processing is executed, the "date/time type" data are converted and output in accordance with the time zone information in the data file.
