Patent number: 10484557Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit, an identification unit, and a generation unit. The acquisition unit acquires image data generated by reading an image on an original. The identification unit identifies a predetermined size of an original, the predetermined size being different from a size of the original. The generation unit adds image data of a different image to the acquired image data, without changing a size of the image in the acquired image data, to generate image data corresponding to the predetermined size of the original.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventor: Seishiro Kato
