Abstract
An image forming apparatus (1000) is equipped with a scanner (1002) for scanning a paper document to thereby convert it to document data; a document memory (1008) for storing the document data; and a history memory (1007) for holding a history of user operations on the document data in association with whether or not the user operations are being managed as an object of control processing. A user operation upon document data is accepted from a operating unit (1001). If this user operation is being managed as an operation that is not an object of control processing in the history memory (1007), then the document data is processed based upon this user operation.
