Patent ID: 8345298

Claim:
A print control apparatus comprising: an analysis unit configured to analyze a script containing page data described using a language that can describe reusable objects and variable objects differently from each other; an extraction unit configured to extract page data exclusively constituted by reusable objects, from the page data described in the script; a generation unit configured to generate rendering processing completed data by performing rendering processing on the page data extracted by the extraction unit; a storage unit configured to store the rendering processing completed data generated by the generation unit in association with page data serving as a generation source of the rendering processing completed data in a storage medium; a determination unit configured to compare the page data extracted by the extraction unit with page data already stored in the storage medium to determine whether the page data extracted by the extraction unit matches the page data already stored in the storage medium; and an output unit configured to output rendering processing completed data already stored in the storage medium in association with the page data in a case where the determination unit determines that the page data extracted by the extraction unit matches the page data already stored in the storage medium, instead of causing the generation unit to generate the rendering processing completed data.
