Having worked with "Documents" and Management of said docs. There are specific keys in the document that are captured in the scan. Think bar codes as ids for what type of doc. On top of that there should be other barcodes for what the doc pertains to.
Granted this was for the court system where we had hundreds of standard docs on file in Word templates. The scanner picks up the entire image as well as the data off the barcodes, and in our case we knew where the text boxes on the form were and presented them to an operator on an input screen to see the doc and the text we were going to insert into the db. Granted our system was huge and not cheap at all.
