Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an input unit adapted to input forming information related to a layout, a plurality of objects, and a policy which includes information on permission of usage of the plurality of objects and information on allowance of usage related to a layout for the plurality of objects. The apparatus further includes a first determination unit configured to determine based on the policy, for each of the plurality of objects, whether the usage of the object is permitted, and a second determination unit configured to determine based on the policy whether the forming information satisfies an allowed layout. The apparatus also includes an output unit configured to lay out and output the plurality of objects for which usage is permitted, in accordance with the forming information for which usage is permitted, when the first determination unit determines that usage of the respective objects is permitted and the second determination unit determines that the forming information satisfies the allowed layout. The output unit is controlled so as not to operate when the first determination unit determines that usage of any object is not permitted or the second determination unit determines that the forming information does not satisfy the allowed layout.
