Abstract: An apparatus has a processor and a memory connected to a bus. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to receive an electronic document from a network. Image processing segments are formed. The image processing segments are processed to generate classification data including text strings. Image processing segments are also processed to identify signing items such as signature lines, date and text fields, checkboxes, and radio-buttons. Each signing item is categorized as an electronic-sign item or a wet-sign item. A first electronic document is produced with pages from the electronic document that have electronic-sign items and a second electronic document is produced with pages from the electronic document that have wet-sign items. The first electronic document is augmented with metadata characterizing locations of and any conditional logic associated with the electronic-sign items.
