ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is provided for completing a document in accordance with a blank tabularized form document from data automatically retrieved from a database. An image of the blank form document is read into the system as image data from which a format of the blank form document and key information is determined. Supplemental data relating to the key information is automatically retrieved from a database and outputted in accordance with recognized parts of the original blank form document. In a second embodiment, the retrieved data is edited before being outputted. The data automatically retrieved from the database is selectively printed onto the original form document or onto a second form document.
