  • Patent number: 11681862
    Abstract: Techniques are described relating to the identification of location of content within an electronic document. Techniques may include generating a location identification rule specifying one or more parameters for identifying a location identifier (LID) for each of the one or more streams associated with the content of the electronic document. Further, the LID may be generated in accordance with the location identification rule. The LID may be assigned to at least a portion of the content, such that the portion of the content within the electronic document may be located in accordance with the LID.

  • Publication number: 20210019366
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for facilitating reliable extraction of text content from particular classes of digital documents (e.g., PDF documents) having that lack the structural information traditionally necessary for straightforward text extraction. Font encoding patterns are identified as indicative of an offset that may be applied to code values in the font encoding to produce values of intended Unicode characters. By classifying a particular digital document according to these patterns, an offset may be identified and text may be extracted without requiring use of computationally intensive optical character recognition (OCR) techniques.
