An image forming apparatus includes an interface, a printer, and a processor. The interface acquires first printing data. The printer prints an image on a medium. The processor extracts content blocks from the first printing data, rearranges the content blocks to generate second printing data, and controls the printer to print an image on the medium based on the second printing data.
