DOCUMENT FORMAT CONVERSION DEVICE AND DOCUMENT FORMAT CONVERSION METHOD

摘要

An apparatus for document format conversion is provided in this invention, comprising: a document parsing unit for parsing a fixed layout document to acquire path primitives of the fixed layout document; a path grouping unit for dividing the path primitives into groups to generate path groups; a font file generating unit for acquiring path groups that are used to represent characters and generating font files corresponding to the path groups that are used to represent characters, wherein if there are two or more path groups representing the same character, only one font file is generated, and is associated with the two or more path groups representing the same character; a document generating unit for generating a converted document using all font files that have been generated. A method for document format conversion is further provided in this invention. With the technical solution of this invention, the problem of data redundancy in fixed layout documents may be solved, causing documents with smaller volumes; further, the problem of incorrect rending in reflowing processes may be solved to achieve better display effects on various terminals.
