PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus configured to obtain deliverables of optimum image layout according to a discharge destination, even if saddle-stitching mode is released, when image data exceeding the maximum possible number of sheets for saddle-stitching is input.SOLUTION: A CPU 402 calculates the number of sheets to be output for one copy, on the basis of input image data, determines whether the number of sheets to be output has exceeded the maximum possible number of sheets for saddle-stitching, and controls to display a screen for prompting a user to select whether to stop printing, to execute center-folding, or to release saddle-stitching when determining that the number of sheets to be output has exceeded the maximum possible number of sheets for saddle-stitching. When the user selects to execute center-folding, image forming sequence is controlled so as to discharge a sheet corresponding to the outside of a bookbinding product to a saddle-stitching tray after discharging a sheet corresponding to the inside of the bookbinding product, to the saddle-stitching tray. When the user selects to release saddle-stitching, the image forming sequence is controlled so as to discharge a sheet corresponding to the inside of the bookbinding product to a stacking tray after discharging a sheet corresponding to the outside of the bookbinding product, to the stacking tray.
