According to the method and system for display screen-aided generation of an electronic document from rastered image data, a group of image data per page and comprising multiple pages is stored. Symbols for associated pages of the group per associated page are displayed in an organized structure in the first screen region. Per page or per region, the image data is separately selected for full display in a second screen display region so that the associated page is accessible for additional processing steps with respect to at least one of the elements selected from the group consisting of a pixel processing and a page processing. Upon touching a symbol of the group with a selection member, a content of the associated page of the group is displayed in an automatically opening, separate display region.
