Claim:
A print control apparatus comprising a processor, the processor adapted to function as: a rendering unit that performs rendering in response to a print instruction described in a page-dependent page description language in which details of a change of a print resource on a certain page are applied to other pages; a sending unit that sends the entire print instruction including a plurality of pages to the rendering unit; a distribution unit that distributes a process request to the rendering unit, the process request specifying which of the pages included in the print instruction is to be rendered; and a saving unit that saves a process state of the rendering unit after executing rendering of a preset page, wherein, when executing rendering by extracting the print instruction of the page specified by the process request distributed by the distribution unit to image data, when the process request is distributed in descending order in which a page specified by a current process request is prior to a page specified by a previous process request, the rendering unit resumes the process state saved in the saving unit, and performs rendering of the specified page.
