32. A digital image processing device as claimed in claim 30 , wherein the character code includes at least font size.
30. A digital image processing device comprising: a detection circuit for executing a pre-scan of a document, on which document the user has marked a plurality of document blocks, and creating pre-scan image data from which pre-scan image data the plurality of document blocks that is marked by the user are detected; an extraction circuit adapted to extract the plurality of document blocks that are digital image data representing a portion of the scanned document, the scanned document having document images and a background, the plurality of document blocks includes document image data and background image data, the document image data represents some of the document images on the scanned document, wherein all the document image data in the extracted plurality of document blocks represents fewer document images than are present in the scanned document; a generating circuit adapted to generate character code data from character image data within the plurality of document blocks; a reconstruction circuit adapted to reconstruct the plurality of document blocks into a single document block in a specific shape based on the extracted plurality of document blocks; and a layout circuit adapted to lay out the character code data within the reconstructed document block to create a layout image.
