Abstract
A layout editing apparatus capable of editing a layout of a plurality of sheets in a layout editing area displayed on a display unit in a case where the plurality of sheets is to be book-bound after being printed includes a determination unit and a layout unit. The determination unit determines, in the layout editing area, a layout-inhibited area where a layout of an object is inhibited, at a position corresponding to a portion at which the plurality of printed sheets is to be bound, with a size according to information about bookbinding. The layout unit lays out the object so as not to overlap with the layout-inhibited area determined by the determination unit.
