Abstract
A document processing method is disclosed wherein blank forms are read by an image input device, and the format thereof is stored in a memory. Additional information for filling in the form is input in the same manner, and the information is electronically overlaid using a control device for the memory, so that a completed form is stored in the memory for output by a printing device. With the invention, once the blank form is input to the device, further blank forms are unnecessary.
