Abstract
An print processing device capable of realizing image data editing in which all pieces of original image to be printed are apportioned into an appropriate number of pieces per page and output on the number of pages desired by a user. The device acquires a value designated by the user which specifies the number of printing pages "P", and calculates layout quantity "n" of original images per page based on the number of printing pages "P" corresponding to the acquired designated value and the total number of original images "N". Then, the device generates print data for individual pages describing a print image arranging layout quantity "n" or a smaller number of the original images by apportioning "N" pieces of original image into the calculated layout quantity "n" per page.
