  • Method and system for creating a table version of a document
    Patent number: 7149967
    Abstract: A table version of a document is generated by computing a table layout of the document and generating the table version based on the table layout. Computing the table layout can include recording the positions of each object in the document, dividing the document into sections, and grouping the sections based on their object content. Generating the table version of the document from the table layout can include creating table code that represents information in the table layout of the document. The table version of the document can be used to export the document to one or more computers in a distributed network while maintaining the visual fidelity and text content of the original document.
