Suppression of one or more features in an image of a page of content may
be achieved by acquiring a page image, identifying one or more features
in the page image that are to be suppressed or not to be suppressed, and
preparing a substitute page image which only includes images of the
features that are not to be suppressed. Preparing a substitute page image
may include generating a blank image and using location and size
information to copy images of the non-suppressed features from the
original page image to the blank image. In other embodiments, preparing a
substitute page image may include removing image information from the
original page image outside the non-suppressed features, or identifying
and removing features that are to be suppressed from the original page
image. Feature suppression may be used to implement access rules that
limit the content in a page image.
