Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a composite image generator and a print controller. The composite image generator generates a composite image by superimposing, on a document image of a document represented by document data, two-dimensional code images individually corresponding to multiple document elements included in the document. The print controller causes a printer to print the composite image. The composite image generator determines positions of the two-dimensional code images corresponding to the document elements so that the positions do not overlap images of the document elements.
