<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus in which, in combination of a form image with a document image, rotations of the form image are less frequent thereby achieving short process time.SOLUTION: An output image processing circuit 23 (a) obtains form image data 51, (b) identifies a direction of the upper edge of a document image on a first page, (c) rotates the form image such that the direction of the upper edge of the document image on the first page matches the direction of the upper edge of the form image if the direction of the upper edge of the document image on the first page differs from the direction of the upper edge of the form image based on the form image data 51, and (d) rotates the document images on each page of the second page and the subsequent pages such that the direction of the upper edge of the document image on the first page matches the direction of the upper edge of the document image on each page of the second page and the subsequent pages if the direction of the upper edge of the document image on each page of the second page and the subsequent pages differs from the direction of the upper edge of the document image on the first page.</p> |
