The plurality of software-based conversion units perform a software-based conversion process for converting print document data described in a page description language into page image data having a bitmap image format. Each of the plurality of software-based conversion units requests a hardware-based image processing apparatus that executes specific image processing in the software-based conversion process to execute the specific image processing, and generates the page image data including a result of the image processing executed by the hardware-based image processing apparatus in response to the request. The controller activates an additional software-based conversion unit that performs the software-based conversion process when a state where at least one of the plurality of software-based conversion units waits for the hardware-based image processing apparatus to complete the image processing possibly occurs."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Print document conversion apparatus, print document conversion method, and computer readable medium","description":"A print document conversion apparatus includes a plurality of software-based conversion units and a controller.
