摘要

A data processing apparatus which is capable of automatically calculating layout information suitable for various materials and outputting a document interpretable by a driver of a printing apparatus. An input section 103 inputs data. A data analysis section 107 analyzes the input data. A layout processing section 108 generates layout information on the data based on a result of the analysis by the data analysis section. The layout processing section 108 lays out the data based on the generated layout information and converts the data laid out into a document printable by the printing apparatus.
