Abstract
A document image processing device segments a set of pixels in a document into a plurality of regions and classifies the sizes of the characters in the segmented regions. The characters are converted into a color image based on information indicating correspondence between size and color of the characters. An image is generated for an output document on the basis of the converted color image.
