To enable binding of a sheet bundle by switching binding methods as necessary even when stapleless binding is selected for the sheet bundle having a number of sheets.

In a printing control apparatus, when binding by a stapleless binding means is specified and the number of sheets to be bound exceeds the number of sheets that can be bound by a stapleless binding means, the stapleless binding means is controlled so that the sheets to be bound can be divided into the number of sheets bindable by the stapleless binding means, and a plurality of sheet groups are each bound.
