When the type of PDL data is switched, a resource that is already developed cannot be used. A memory control apparatus configured to process received PDL data includes a developing unit configured to develop the received PDL data in a first memory area, and develop a resource to be used by the PDL data in a second memory area, a determination unit configured to determine whether stored activation information is a first value or a second value, and a control unit configured to perform control for releasing the first memory area and deleting the resource developed in the second memory area, in a case where the activation information is determined to be the first value, and configured to release the first memory area and not deleting the resource developed in the second memory area, in a case where the activation information is determined to be the second value.
