Abstract
A document management system includes one or more processing apparatuses and a management apparatus. Each processing apparatus is located on one of local networks, and executes a protection process to generate a protected document from a document. The management apparatus is located on an external network connected to the local networks, and manages the processing apparatus(es). Each processing apparatus includes a transmitter and a generator. The transmitter transmits a status of the processing apparatus to the management apparatus. The generator executes the protection process on an input document and generates a protected document upon being permitted by the management apparatus to execute the protection process. The management apparatus includes a receiver and a controller. The receiver receives, from the processing apparatus(es), statuses of the processing apparatus(es). The controller controls whether to permit each processing apparatus to execute the protection process on the basis of the status of the processing apparatus.
