An information processing apparatus includes a file acquiring unit, a generating unit, a data processing unit, and an output unit. The file acquiring unit acquires a file on the basis of an instruction from a user. The generating unit generates restriction information for restricting access to the file acquired by the file acquiring unit. The data processing unit associates the restriction information generated by the generating unit with the file acquired by the file acquiring unit. The output unit outputs the restriction information generated by the generating unit on a paper medium.
