Abstract:
The image forming apparatus sets, as a cutting area, an area containing an image of a double-page spread out of image data obtained by a scan of a book-type document, sets a borderline which divides an area corresponding to one page of the image data and an area corresponding to the other page of the image data from each other, and divides the cutting area cut out from the image data into a one-side area of the borderline and the other-side area of the borderline, thereby generating a first pre-output page in which divided image data of the one-side area is provided and a second pre-output page in which divided image data of the other-side area is provided.

Claim (Index 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the cutting area is a quadrangular area having two pairs of opposite sides, one pair of opposite sides being parallel to a main scanning direction and the other pair of opposite sides being parallel to a sub scanning direction, the control section sets, as a first reference side, one of the sides parallel to the main scanning direction out of the four sides of the image data, and sets, as a second reference side, one of the sides parallel to the sub scanning direction, the control section recognizes positions of four corners of the document area present in the image data, and determines, as a first distance, a distance in the sub scanning direction between a position of a corner nearest to the first reference side out of the four corners and a position of a corner farthest from the first reference side, and moreover determines, as a second distance, a distance in the main scanning direction between a position of a corner nearest to the second reference side out of the four corners and a position of a corner farthest from the second reference side, and the control section sets, as the cutting area, the quadrangular area which contains the entire document area and in which a distance between the opposite sides parallel to the main scanning direction equals the first distance and a distance between the opposite sides parallel to the sub scanning direction equals the second distance.
