1. An electronic device with cost saving function, comprising:
a data receiving module for receiving a first document file data containing blank pages;
an input module for receiving an instruction;
an output module;
a display module; and
a processing module being electrically connected to the data receiving module, the input module, the display module and the output module; and
wherein the processing module performs a blank page counting process on the first document file data to generate cost information of non-blank pages base on one characteristic calculated value of each page of the first document file data and instructs the display module to display the cost information of non-blank pages;
wherein the processing module performs an image detection of the first document file data page by page to obtain a plurality of image characteristic values of each page;
the processing module performing an image characteristic calculation on the pages one by one based on the image characteristic values of each page to generate a characteristic calculated value corresponding to each of the pages; and
the processing module determining page by page whether the characteristic calculated value of each page satisfies a first threshold range value; if yes, the processing module determining the page is a blank page; or if not, the processing module further determining whether the characteristic calculated value of each page satisfies a second threshold range value; and if yes, the processing module determining the page is a non-blank page.
