Abstract: There is provided a method for determining text blocks of a PDF text, including: acquiring information of characters of the PDF text; performing an initial division according to gap outliers of the PDF text in a transverse direction and a longitudinal direction, and adding block tags of first text blocks to the information of characters; sequentially processing inaccurate lines and inaccurate words in each first text block according to baselines of characters, character lengths, character spaces and character indexes; performing a baseline arrangement on lines of the PDF text; sequentially comparing two lines to form second text blocks; and sequentially comparing two second text blocks to identify whether to perform a secondary merging and a secondary division.

Abstract: There is provided a device for editing a PDF file, including a display, a non-volatile storage medium, a memory and a processor. The non-volatile storage medium stores a computer program. The memory provides an environment for operations of the computer program in the non-volatile storage medium. The processor runs the computer program to parse the PDF file to obtain information of characters, generate character sets according to features of the characters, generate line sets according to heights and horizontal positions of the character sets, generate paragraph sets according to a height and a horizontal position of each line of the line sets, generate text region sets according a height and a horizontal position of each paragraph of the paragraph sets, and control the display to show the text region sets in the PDF file as editable text regions.

Abstract: There is provided a method for processing tables in a PDF file, including: parsing the PDF file to obtain coordinates of start points and end points of all transverse line sections and longitudinal line sections; obtaining coordinates of crosspoints of all line sections and recording coordinates of line sections that form the crosspoints; calculating all unit grids according to the coordinates of the crosspoints and the coordinates of the line sections; and filling every character respectively into a corresponding unit grid according to character coordinates obtained in parsing the PDF file.
