Abstract
An image forming apparatus receives print data from a client PC and analyzes a hierarchical structure relating to an item indicating a delimiter of a document included in the received print data. The image forming apparatus determines an insertion point at which an index sheet is inserted into a printed matter of the print data based on the results of analysis of the hierarchical structure. Then, the image forming apparatus inserts the index sheet into the printed matter at the determined insertion point and outputs the resulting printed matter.
