  • Patent number: 12118294
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and products for auto tagging structured PDF documents that do not have accessibility tags. In one embodiment, structured PDF documents having accessibility tags are first parsed and analyzed to organize the visual components of the documents. The relationships of the identified objects to DOM elements (e.g., tags) are determined, and the objects and related DOM elements are stored in training files. The training files are used to train various classifiers. Untagged PDF documents are then parsed to identify included visual objects, and the classifiers are used to determine DOM elements that should be associated with visual objects identified in the untagged PDF documents. This information is used to construct a DOM structure corresponding to each untagged document. A new PDF is then generated corresponding to each untagged document using the generated DOM structure and visual object information.

  • Patent number: 8687210
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for accessing data from electronic documents stored as print streams are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic document conforming to one of a plurality of print formats is obtained. The electronic document is parsed according to the one of the plurality of print formats to generate an intermediate data structure conforming to an intermediate format such that the electronic document is converted to the intermediate format, wherein the intermediate format is different from the plurality of print formats. One or more rules are applied to obtain data for a plurality of regions of the electronic document from the intermediate data structure. The data for the plurality of regions of the electronic document that has been obtained from the intermediate data structure is stored or provided, thereby enabling a report to be generated using at least a portion of the data for the plurality of regions that has been stored or provided.
