Abstract: The invention is methods and systems for encoding geographic coordinates and features in a portable document format file. Various embodiments of the invention permit encoding of a geographic relationship between the coordinate system of a digital source map, and the rendering of that map to a portable document format (PDF) document as well as the information required to transform between the source map coordinate system and the PDF coordinate system. This encoding can be performed by determining the coordinates of the points of a polygon of selected source map data to be rendered to PDF in both PDF coordinates and source coordinates, and by determining a transformation matrix to convert the coordinates from one system to the other, including information regarding the geometric projection of the source coordinate system. Having encoded this data, it can be possible to obtain any location within the rendered PDF file in coordinates of the source coordinate system.

Abstract: A correction tool that displays a correction widget when a user acts to correct text is provided. More particularly, if the user places an insertion point in or to the immediate left of the text, or selects the text, the tool displays the correction widget immediately to the left of the selected text. The user can then quickly access a correction interface for correcting the text simply by moving the pointer the short distance from the insertion point to the correction widget. When the user activates the correction widget, the tool displays the correction interface immediately proximal to the correction widget. Thus, the user need only move the pointer a small distance further to then correct the text using the correction interface.

Abstract: Methods and systems permit rendering a text element formatted using unavailable or restricted fonts. In one embodiment, when producing a document that contains a restricted font, text portions formatted with the restricted font are processed into an alternate representation. A textual representation for the text portions and the additional representation(s) are embedded in a document or container. A unique representation for the restricted font file allows a consuming computing system to attempt to find the restricted font locally. Each textual representation is rendered using its corresponding restricted font, if the restricted font file is found. Otherwise, the additional representation(s) are used.

Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for representing extensible business reporting language (XBRL) documents in multidimensional form. For example, a computer-implemented system may include a computer and an XBRL taxonomy document containing extensible markup language (XML) elements. The system further comprises one or more XBRL instance documents each containing XML elements and each conforming to a schema defined by the XBRL taxonomy document, an XBRL engine to parse the XBRL taxonomy document and identify members of a first dimension, and to parse the one or more XBRL instance documents to identify members for each of one or more additional dimensions, wherein each additional dimension corresponds to a respective XBRL instance document. The system may also include a modeling engine to generate a multidimensional model having a plurality of dimensions. Users can view different dimensions and members of a multidimensional XBRL data model as though XBRL data were organized as multidimensional data cubes.

Abstract: A mechanism for validating a message, such as an XML message or other hierarchically-organized content. A validation engine walks through the tree represented by the message preferably in depth-first traversal order. Upon encountering each node in the tree, the validation engine consults a validation table to identify a delegate that is to be invoked. The validation engine then invokes the delegate identified for that node, and calls itself recursively on the subtrees of the current node. After the subtrees have been processed, the validation engine again consults the validation table to identify a post-handler for the current node, and then invokes the post-handler. An entry in the validation table may be flagged as “exclusive” to prevent traversal of subtrees of the node corresponding to that entry. Additionally, there may be both global and local validation tables, where the global table is used when a node has no entry in the local table.

Abstract: Self-describing portions of text or data are provided for associating with or inserting in a computer-generated document. Portions of a document, such as individual paragraphs or groups of paragraphs or fragments of text, are provided self-describing properties, such as file format type associated with the portion, style, font, list type, and the like. If such a portion of a document is subsequently linked to or copied or moved to a second document or to a different location in a first document, the self-describing properties provided for the portion travel with the portion to the second document or to the different location in the first document. An application receiving the content portion may consume and display the portion according to the properties provided for the portion.

Abstract: A software module at an e-mail gateway server scans incoming e-mail messages suspected of being phishing messages and inserts a script program into the head or body of the message in HTML form. The message is converted into an HTML document if necessary. The script program is written in a language such as VBScript, JScript, ECMAScript or JavaScript and can be run in a browser. The modified message is delivered to the recipient. When the e-mail client software on the user's desktop encounters the HTML content a browser starts up and the script program is executed by the browser. The script program can then take any action necessary to counter any hostile content of the message such as providing a warning message, comparing hyperlinks, intercepting a redirect request, warning about suspect attachments, etc.

Abstract: The present invention provides a document processing device including: a specifying unit that specifies character strings which have a common property across documents, from among character strings included in plural documents which are represented by plural corresponding document data; and a rewriting unit that rewrites, among the character strings specified by the specifying unit, character strings expressed in formats different from a defined format to character strings expressed in the defined format.

Abstract: A method and system for creating timed reminders linked to computer-readable documents. The present invention permits a user to create a reminder for any date and time, and associate any data file with the reminder in such a manner that the file is automatically opened, executed, or read as applicable at the date and time specified in the reminder. A document-linked reminder may be created from any application program within an application suite through the use of a reminder creation dialog. The reminder creation dialog permits a user to specify a time and date on which the reminder will activate, and an associated file. The reminder is then stored in a database. The reminder creation dialog may be later accessed in order to create additional reminders, or to edit the time, date, or associated file for existing reminders. Periodically, the document reminder system will poll the database in order to determine whether any reminders need to be activated.
