Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vector graphics classification engine and associated method for classifying vector graphics in a fixed format document is described herein and illustrated in the accompanying figures. The vector graphics classification engine defines a pipeline for categorizing vector graphics parsed from the fixed format document as font, text, paragraph, table, and page effects, such as shading, borders, underlines, and strikethroughs. Vector graphics that are not otherwise classified are designated as basic graphics. By sequencing the detection operations in a selected order, misclassification is minimized or eliminated.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for converting a fixed format document containing vector graphics and fixed format text into a flow format document, the method comprising the acts of: detecting the vector graphics on a page in the fixed format document, including: detecting whether a vector graphic is a line running in the same direction as selected text on the page, wherein the line intersects the text in the fixed format document; displaying the vector graphics associated w…
