Abstract
A character area is identified in each page by detecting an area in which edge pixels continue in an edge image generated based on each page of a target image. A method of compressing data of each page of the target image is selected based on a ratio of the character area to each page of the edge image. First page data is generated by combining: outlined data of the character area of each page of the target image for which the first compression method has been selected; and compressed data of a background area other than the character area. Second page data is generated by compressing all data of each page of the target image for which the second compression method has been selected, and document data of the plurality of pages is generated by combining the first page data and the second page data.
