ABSTRACT:
A method for extracting Anchorable Information Units (AIUs), from a Portable Document Format (PDF) file, which may either be created using either an editor or by scanning in documents. The method includes parsing the portable document format document into textual portions and non-text portions, and extracting structure from the textual portions and the non-text portions. The method further includes determining text within textual portions, and text the non-text portions, and hyperlinking a plurality of keywords within the textual portions and non-text portions to a related document.
