Image processor, image processing method, and computer readable media storing programs therefor

Abstract

An image processor includes an image reading unit that reads source documents and converts read data into image data, an extracting unit that extracts password information and attribute information from the image data of each of the source documents read by the image reading unit, a password inputting unit that inputs the password information, a password determining unit that determines whether or not the password information inputted by the password inputting unit matches the password information extracted by the extracting unit, and a permitting unit that permits a source document to be subjected to image processing, if the attribute information of the source document is identical to the attribute information included in the source document of which the password determining unit has determined that there is a match between the inputted password information and the extracted password information.
