The image forming apparatus includes a PDL analysis unit, a DL generation unit, an edge enhancement determination unit configured to determine whether or not to perform edge enhancement processing for each image, an edge enhancement unit configured to perform edge enhancement processing, and a development processing unit configured to develop a DL into a bitmap. The DL generation unit generates a DL for image data within PDL data on which edge enhancement processing is not performed in the case where the edge enhancement determination unit determines not to perform edge enhancement processing, and generates a DL for image data within PDL data on which edge enhancement processing is performed in the case where the edge enhancement determination unit determines to perform edge enhancement processing.
