Methods and systems for embedding one or more scanned pages as object in a scanned document

A multi-function device, comprising:

• a scanner configured for:
• scanning a received document from a user, the document comprising a plurality of pages;
• a user interface configured for:
• receiving an input from the user in the form of one or more page numbers of one or more scanned pages of the document that are to be embedded as an object in a final scanned document, a page number of a page where the one or more scanned pages are to be embedded as the object, and a location in the page where the one or more scanned pages are to be embedded as the object;
• and
• a controller configured for:
• processing the received input to separate the one or more scanned pages to be embedded from the remaining pages of the scanned document;
• inserting the one or more scanned pages as the object at the page location in the scanned document;
• creating the final scanned document including the one or more scanned pages as the embedded object and the remaining pages as visible scanned pages;
• and
• sending the final scanned document to a destination as specified by the user.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a document for scanning from a user, the document comprising a plurality of pages, wherein each page is associated with a page number;
• scanning each page of the document;
• storing each scanned page of the document in a memory;
• receiving an input from the user in the form of one or more scanned pages that are to be embedded as an object, a page where the one or more scanned pages are to be embedded as the object, and a location in the page where the one or more scanned pages are to be embedded as the object;
• based on the input from the user, identifying the one or more scanned pages to be embedded in the scanned document;
• separating the one or more identified scanned pages to be embedded, from the scanned document;
• creating a first document containing the remaining scanned pages of the scanned document, wherein the location belongs to the first document;
• creating a second document containing the one or more scanned pages to be embedded;
• inserting the second document at the location belonging to the first document;
• and
• creating a final scanned document including the first document and the second document, wherein the second document is shown in the form of an icon and the first document is represented by the remaining scanned pages of the scanned document.
