Methods and systems for generating multiple scanned files based on keywords

A method for generating multiple scanned files based on keywords when scanning a document at a multi-function device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the multi-function device, a document for scanning:
• providing, by the multi-function device, a user interface configured to receive input of one or more keywords based on which multiple scanned files are to be generated;
• generating, by the multi-function device, an initial scanned file in a pre-defined format;
• based on the one or more input keywords, identifying, by the multi-function device, one or more pages from the initial scanned file having the one or more input keywords;
• and
• in response to the identifying the one or more pages from the initial scanned file having the one or more input keywords, automatically generating, by the multi-function device, at least three separate output scanned files, wherein the at least three separate output scanned files comprise:
• one output scanned file comprising the one or more identified pages having the one or more input keywords,
• another output scanned file comprising the remaining pages of the initial scanned file excluding the one or more input keywords, and
• yet another output scanned file comprising all of the pages of the initial scanned file in a same order as that of the initial scanned file.
