Abstract: An apparatus capable processing form data including a variable region acquires image data to be inserted into the variable region of the form data. The apparatus calculates a scaling rate between the acquired image data prior to being scaled for insertion into the variable region and corresponding image data that has been scaled for insertion into the variable region. The apparatus determines image data to be check-printed based on the calculated scaling rate and generates print data for check-printing the image data to be check-printed in a condition in which the image data to be check-printed has been scaled for insertion into the variable region.
