Abstract: A user enters a document processor simple instructions of the use of an output document and the image finish of the document, for example, by a design instruction input unit. In response to the simple instructions, a design parameter determining unit determines design parameters. An area dividing unit divides the input image into partial image areas of document elements. A logic identifier applying unit applies logic identifiers to the document elements. An output image generator unit processes the document image according to the design parameters provided respectively for the logic identifiers, whereby forming an output image as instructed.
