Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for classifying and comparing similar documents using base templates. The method comprises accessing a document; extracting metadata from the document; matching the metadata to at least one base template of a plurality of base templates; and storing the document with one or more similar documents, wherein the one or more similar documents are documents that match the at least one base template.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for making an electronic document easier to use based on prior interactions with the same or a similar document by other users. An electronic document is presented to one or more users in an interactive environment. Interactions between the users and the document can be recorded as usage data. The usage data may represent one or more operations performed on the electronic document by the users. Based on the usage data, an enhanced user interaction feature associated with the document is configured. The electronic document and the enhanced user interaction feature are then presented to another user in another interactive environment. The enhanced user interaction feature makes using the document easier than it would be if the feature was not present, particularly for users who are unfamiliar with the document.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for detecting, validating, and correlating form-fields in a scanned document. The method comprises displaying a plurality of interactive form-fields associated with a scanned document, wherein each interactive form-field in the plurality of form-fields is defined by a location in the document where one or more previous users entered information on the scanned document, and a data type for the entered information.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for displaying IPM messages based on an individual's past message interaction. The method comprises displaying an in-product message of a first plurality of in-product messages associated with a first product feature of a plurality of available product features; receiving an input with the displayed in-product message; based on the received input, determining that a threshold is not met; and displaying an in-product message of a second plurality of in-product messages associated with a second product feature of the plurality of available product features when the threshold is not met.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a document management application determines that a field of a document lacks a tag describing the field. The document management application also determines that data entered into the field of the document corresponds to a value of a field description included in a user profile. The document management application tags or otherwise associates the field with the field description based on the entered data corresponding to the value of the field description.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for preserving analytics while processing digital content. The method comprises receiving a command for processing analytics-enabled digital content from a source file to a target file; accessing source analytics metadata from the source file; and converting the source analytics metadata to a target analytics metadata in the target file, wherein the target analytics metadata is in a format consistent with a target file format.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for managing deadline content in a document. The method comprises extracting deadline content from a document; comparing the extracted deadline content to content in one or more existing deadline profiles; and providing for storage on a cloud server, at least one of the extracted deadline content when the extracted deadline content matches the content in an existing deadline profile, or the extracted deadline content and a new deadline profile for the document when the extracted deadline content does not match an existing deadline profile.
