Data formats (page description data, intermediate data and raster data) for compositing respective ones of first to fifth pages with each other are previously determined. An interpreter and a renderer convert the respective pages to the data formats for compositing the same with each other. A page requiring no conversion is not converted. After the conversion, the pages expressed in the page description data, the intermediate data and the raster data are subjected to first composition, second composition and third composition respectively. The composition and the conversion can be dispersively performed, to enable processing in a short time without increasing the quantity of data in individual processing. Thus provided are an apparatus for and a method of processing printing data, which can process data in a short time with high throughput.
