Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• a first converting unit configured to convert a drawing object of data of a PS format into data of a PDF format by converting a command description of the data of the PS format into a command description of the data of the PDF format;
• a second converting unit configured to convert the drawing object of the data of the PS format into partially RIP-completed image data of the PDF format;
• and
• a selecting unit configured to select, according to an attribute of each of a plurality of drawing objects of the data of the PS format included in variable print data, either a mode in which each of the drawing objects of the data of the PS format is converted into the data of the PDF format by the first converting unit or a mode in which each of the drawing objects of the data of the PS format is converted into the data of the PDF format by the second converting unit.
