A scanned-document management system includes a first user identification information reading unit that acquires identification information of a user who operates a document reading unit. An attribute information generating unit acquires information of a user identified by the user identification information and generates attribute information based on the acquired information of the user. A document registration unit registers the document data and the attribute data in a document management unit. A second user identification information reading unit acquires identification information of the user. A request information generating unit acquires information of a user identified by the user identification information acquired by the second user identification information reading unit and generates document acquisition request information. A corresponding document selection unit selects document data related to the user based on document acquisition request information and the attribute information. A display control unit displays the selected document data.
