1. 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.
