Abstract
An image forming apparatus that prevents, when reducing variation in thickness of thin lines, the legibility of the thin lines from being adversely affected thereby. When print data is acquired, in a rendering process for printing based on the acquired print data, the rendering process including a line width adjustment process is executed. In a case where the line width adjustment process is executed on the print data, not only the line width adjustment process but also a process for thickening thin lines is executed.
