1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions for processing scanned document data, where the instructions, when processed by one or more processors, cause: receiving, by a document merging network service executing on a network device, from a first scanning device over a network using an IP protocol, (a) first scanned document data that represents at least a portion of one or more first printed documents that have been scanned by the first scanning device, (b) first existing document indication data that indicates first document data, and (c) location insertion data that indicates a location within the first document data in which second document data is to be inserted; in response to receiving the first scanned document data and the first existing document indication data, the document merging network service: wherein the second document data is either the first scanned document data or document data that is generated from the first scanned document data; receiving, by the document merging network service executing on the network device, from a second scanning device, that is different than the first scanning device, over the network using the IP protocol, (d) second scanned document data that represents at least a portion of one or more second printed documents that have been scanned by the second scanning device and (e) second existing document indication data that indicates third document data; in response to receiving the second scanned document data and the second existing document indication data, the document merging network service: wherein the fourth document data is either the second scanned document data or document data that is generated from the second scanned document data.
