摘要

When a composite signature includes two intermediate signatures imposed thereon, a first table generating section generates a first table showing the page composition of an intermediate signature imposed on the left side of each composite signature, on the basis of initial information entered by a user. A second table generating section generates a second table showing the page composition of an intermediate signature imposed on the right side of each composite signature. A third table generating section generates a third table showing the page composition of each composite signature on the basis of the first and second tables. A fourth table generating section generates a fourth table showing the page composition of each printing form on the basis of the third table. This facilitates layout planning for a printing/binding style of creating one signature with different contents imposed on two or more imposition areas.
