Print data processing apparatus, control method for print data processing apparatus, and storage medium

A method for controlling a print data processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• causing a first processor not to execute a command to convert print data to intermediate data when a resource is rasterized in accordance with a command to rasterize the resource of the print data and to convert the print data which is not converted to the intermediate data to the intermediate data when rasterizing of the resource of the print data is finished;
• causing a management unit to manage the resource rasterized by the first processor so that a processor except the first processor can refer to the resource when the print data is converted to the intermediate data;
• causing a second processor not to execute the command to rasterize the resource of the print data and to convert the print data to the intermediate data with reference to the resource managed by the management unit;
• causing any one of the first processor or the second processor to confirm a size of a memory used when the print data is converted to intermediate data;
• when the size of the confirmed memory is equal to or greater than a threshold value, causing the first processor to rasterize the resource in accordance with the command to rasterize the resource of the print data without executing a command to draw an image of print data, and causing the second processor to convert the print data to the immediate data with reference to the resource managed by the management unit without executing the command to rasterize a resource of print data;
• and
• when the size of the confirmed memory is smaller than the threshold value, causing the first processor to rasterize the resource of the print data on a page allocated to the first processor and to convert the print data to the intermediate data using the rasterized resource and causing the second processor to rasterize the resource of the print data on a page allocated to the second processor and to convert the print data to the intermediate data using the rasterized resource.
