ABSTRACT:
This invention is to provide an information processing system and method in which when the paper size of a document is to be changed, layout constituent elements are rearranged while keeping margin sizes unchanged and keeping a predetermined ratio between the shape of the effective area and the shape of each layout constituent element, thereby freely and easily setting the shape of each object frame as a layout constituent element without entering the binding margin or the physical printing disable area. In rearranging a plurality of layout constituent elements in a document on the basis of an instruction for changing the paper size of the document, the effective area size of the document after the change in paper size is calculated. On the basis of the calculated effective area size, the size and position of each layout constituent element are calculated such that a margin of the document becomes constant before and after the change in paper size. The layout constituent elements before the change are rearranged in accordance with the calculated size and position of each layout constituent element after the change in paper size. The rearranged document is printed out.
