Abstract
A post-processing apparatus includes a suspension member that suspends a center-folded booklet by being inserted into the booklet along a fold of the booklet, a pair of clamp members that are disposed so as to face outer surfaces of the booklet suspended by the suspension member and that clamp the booklet by moving closer to each other, and a post-processing mechanism that performs a post-processing operation on the booklet clamped by the clamp members. The suspension member includes an upwardly tapering portion whose thickness between opposing sheets of the booklet, into which the suspension member has been inserted, gradually decreases upward, and the suspension member supports an inner surface of the booklet with the upwardly tapering portion.
