The data is displayed on the unit 7 (process 304), and the process at this time ends in error.

  When the result of determination 303 is YES, each identifier is extracted from the inserted digital watermark data (process 305). At the same time, out of the image data obtained by processing 301, the data in the name entry area is extracted, and the entered character string is extracted by applying OCR processing (processing 306). As a result, a character string of the name is obtained.

  Next, an information value corresponding to each identifier is created, and the information value is arranged according to the arrangement location of the corresponding identifier (processing 307). For example, in the case of the above-described standard document SK (SKa, SKb, SKc), since the identifier # 1 is “date”, the current time of the clock circuit 4 is read and acquired. Since identifiers # 2, # 3, and # 4 are "affiliation", "representative", and "job type", respectively, the user information database US is searched by referring to the character string of the name obtained in process 306. Then, the values of “affiliation”, “representative”, and “job type” are acquired. Then, the acquired values of “date”, “affiliation”, “representative”, and “job type” are respectively stored in the area of the standard document SK in which the identifiers # 1, # 2, # 3, and # 4 are arranged. Deploy.

  Next, the display information of the character string of the name obtained in the process 306 is arranged at the position of the entry column (process 308). Then, the standard document SKc having the entry fields formed in the processes 307 and 308 and having the other parts having the same contents as the original standard document SKa is recorded and output (process 309).

  In this way, in the present embodiment, the contents of the entry column of the standard document issued by a company or a government office can be automatically generated based on the name entered by the user, etc. Can be reduced, and errors can be prevented, and a smooth form issuing operation is possible.
