Abstract
A method selectively acquiring one or more images from a hardcopy document is provided. The method includes demarking boundaries on one or more hardcopy pages using a writing instrument to differentiate a selected image portion from a non-selected image portion, scanning the one or more demarked hardcopy pages with an image acquisition device, acquiring one or more images from the hardcopy pages, and processing the acquired one or more images from the selected image portion to differentiate them from the non-selected image portion.
