FIXED FORMAT DOCUMENT CONVERSION ENGINE

摘要

A fixed format document conversion engine and associated method for converting a fixed format document into a flow format document. The fixed format document conversion engine includes a sequence of layout analysis engines and semantic analysis engines to analyzes the base physical layout information obtained from the fixed format document to enrich, modify, and classify the physical layout information into progressively more advanced physical layout information and, ultimately, semantic layout information. The semantic layout information is mapped and serialized into a selected flow format document with a high level of flowability.
