Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of generating printed matter desired by a user. An MFP as the image processing apparatus generates or changes print data for printing print contents on a recording sheet to generate printed matter. Print data including information on pages is acquired from an external apparatus. Information designating ones of the pages, which are to be rotated through 180 degrees, is acquired. Based on the print data, image data for a surface of a sheet is generated by arranging two or more pages on the surface of the sheet. If a page is not to be rotated through 180 degrees, image data is generated by arranging the pages in a predetermined layout, whereas if all pages are to be rotated through 180 degrees, image data is generated by arranging the pages in a different layout from the predetermined layout.
