A layout adjustment method for determining a layout of a page to be formed on a printing medium includes a generation step which generates a template including a plurality of partial areas, to which data are inserted, a setting step to set a link between two partial areas of the plurality of partial areas to connect the two partial areas, a first adjustment step to generate first layout indicating positions and sizes of the two partial areas, and a printing conditions setting step to set a binding margin for printing a document including the template. In addition, a correction step corrects the template on the basis of the binding margin set in the print conditions setting step, and a second adjustment step generates a second layout indicating the positions and the sizes of the two partial areas adjusted on the basis of the sizes of data to be inserted in the two partial areas and the template corrected in the correction step. In the correction step, the template is corrected such that a length in a horizontal direction of a specified partial area of the second layout is shorter than a length in the horizontal direction of a corresponding partial area of the first layout corresponding to the specified partial area of the second layout, as well as a length in a vertical direction of the specified partial area of the second layout is longer than a length in the vertical direction of the corresponding partial area of the first layout.
