Abstract
Systems, methods and program products for recording a document's background data during front-end generation of the document, and inserting a background data identifier on the document. In addition, the invention provides for use of the background data for document processing. For example, the invention provides for removal of the background data from scanner image data of the document to create a foreground image. The foreground image can be used to conduct processing relative to the document such as archiving, fraud detection and other processing. Background data recordation and removal during back-end processing results in improved archive accuracy, lowered storage size requirements, and reduced transmission costs. In addition, background data recordation allows referencing of a single background by a large number of documents.
