ABSTRACT:
Converting an electronic representation of a coordinate based document to an electronic representation of a tag based document is described. Objects, defined by records stored in the electronic representation of the coordinate based document, that are positioned in a current line are identified. The identified objects are sorted based on respective horizontal positions (specifically, from left to right) of the identified objects in an electronic canvas. A vertical distance between the current line and an adjacent line is calculated, and an inter-line tag is generated as a function of the distance. The inter-line tag is stored in the electronic representation of the tag based document.
