1. An image forming system comprising:
an image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a sheet;
a cutting apparatus configured to cut the sheet one by one on which the image has been formed by the image forming apparatus;
a sheet processing apparatus configured to process the sheet received from the cutting apparatus; and
a controller,
wherein the cutting apparatus includes:
a conveyance path through which the sheet received from the image forming apparatus is conveyed,
a roller configured to convey the sheet in the conveyance path in a conveyance direction, the roller being configured to perform a skew correction operation in which a skew of the sheet is corrected before the sheet is cut by the cutting apparatus, and
a cutting unit configured to cut the sheet in the conveyance path, such that a downstream end portion of the sheet in the conveyance direction is cut along a width direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction,
wherein if the controller performs a job for outputting a product of a single sheet and receives an instruction not to cut the downstream end portion of the sheet by the cutting unit, the controller is configured to cause the roller to convey the sheet toward the sheet processing apparatus without performing the skew correction operation.
