Abstract
The document creation apparatus includes a planned division region data extraction unit that extracts data of a planned division region from document image data for each of all pages of a double-page spread document; a reference data generation unit that generates reference data for the planned division regions based on the extracted data of the planned division regions of all pages; a division determination unit that, if a difference between the reference data and the data of the planned division region is larger than or equal to a preset determination threshold, determines that division is impossible, and if the difference is smaller than the determination threshold, determines that division is possible; and an image division processing unit that, if the determination result is that division is impossible, prints the document image data without dividing the document image data, and if the determination result is that division is possible, divides and prints the document image data.
