A booklet creating apparatus, comprising:
- a heating-and-pressing unit configured to heat and press adhesive layer in a state in which plural sheets, with the adhesive layer formed thereon, are stacked, the heating-and-pressing unit including
- a pressing plate configured to be brought into contact with the sheets and press the sheets;
- a heating entity configured to heat the pressing plate at a predetermined temperature;
- a receiving member facing the pressing plate;
- and
- a pressing mechanism configured to apply pressure to the sheets sandwiched between the pressing plate and the receiving member;
- and
- a controller configured to control the predetermined temperature and the pressure, wherein
- the booklet creating apparatus creates a booklet by sandwiching the sheets with the adhesive layer formed thereon between the pressing plate and the receiving member and by heating and pressing the adhesive layer formed on the sheets, and
- the controller performs control in such a way as to make the predetermined temperature and/or the pressure lower when heating and pressing sheets of minimum size than when heating and pressing sheets of maximum size.
