Patent number: 8687210Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2011Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Actuate CorporationInventors: Brian Sue, Paul Alexander Walker, William Davis, William Morris Guthrie, Jr., Jason Bryant Weathersby, Richard James Seabright
