With the introduction of microfilm into the business world, the concept of document storage and retrieval was revolutionized, furthermore, microfilms occupy less space than filing the document itself in filing cabinets and forms are more prone to wear and tear than microfilms. However, microfilms has its own disadvantages such that searching for a specific subject in the microfilm is time consuming and even though a far departure from forms, microfilms still occupy large physical storage space. However, with the advent of computers, office automation becomes the leading edge technology in the business world, which is why some think that going into a paperless office setting is not impossible. In contrast, the concept of paperless office is better said than done, considering that no convincing results is produced. Eventually, the term paperless office evolved into what came to be known as image processing. Image processing is meant not to eliminate all paperworks, but rather to lessen the amount of paperworks to an impressive level, such that image processing viewed on a macro perspective is very environment friendly, not to mention the amount of physical storage it can save. This paper looks into the design and implementation of a generic document image processor system. The concepts behind the system is presented along with a methodology that was created by a leading software company.
