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.

Method and apparatus for classifying and comparing similar documents using base templates

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.

Crowdsourcing for documents and forms

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.

Identify data types and locations of form fields entered by different previous users on different copies of a scanned document to generate an interactive form field

Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to within the context of a shared document review process to receive an updated comment associated with an original comment by a comment series identifier. Further actions may include generating a comment differentiation identifier that serves to differentiate the updated comment from the original comment, and storing at least a portion of the updated comment and the comment differentiation identifier in a collaboration comment repository. Using stored document version history and a timeline, the state of the document at a particular point in time, and a history of the comment series can be rendered as a result. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Collaborative review apparatus, systems, and methods

A computer implemented method and apparatus for automatically aggregating metadata and e-mail attachments from various e-mail providers in a cloud repository. The method comprises accessing account information for one or more related e-mail accounts; accessing one or more e-mails from the one or more e-mail accounts using the received account information, wherein the one or more e-mails comprise one or more documents as one or more attachments; extracting metadata from each e-mail in the one or more e-mails that comprises at least one attachment, wherein the metadata comprises information that identifies the attachment and an associated e-mail; and storing the metadata in a cloud repository.

A computer implemented method and apparatus for translating JAVASCRIPT code across different host environments. The method comprises accessing a document comprising JAVASCRIPT code of a first type; parsing the JAVASCRIPT code of the first type in the document; tracking a location of an event or action in the document in which the JAVASCRIPT code of the first type is present; translating the parsed JAVASCRIPT code of the first type into JAVASCRIPT code of a second type; merging the translated JAVASCRIPT code into a location in a translated JAVASCRIPT file, wherein the location corresponds to the location tracked in the document; and exporting the translated JAVASCRIPT file.

Method and apparatus for translating JAVASCRIPT across different host environments

A computer implemented method and apparatus for preserving fidelity of bounded rich text appearance, by maintaining reflow, when converting between interactive and flat documents across different environments. The method comprises receiving an image, text data, and formatting metadata corresponding to text entered on a webpage; and processing the text data, wherein processing includes using the image and formatting metadata, evaluating a count of characters corresponding to a line of entered text to identify a location in the image for insertion of a newline character; and inserting the newline character at a location identified during the evaluating.

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.

Method and apparatus for preserving analytics while processing digital content

A computer implemented method and apparatus for providing interoperability between flat and interactive digital forms using machine-readable codes including accessing an interactive form document, extracting page dimensions for at least one page of the interactive form document, extracting a plurality of form field properties for at least one form field of the interactive form document, and generating a machine-readable code, wherein the machine-readable code comprises the extracted page dimensions and the plurality of form field properties. The method then embeds the machine-readable code into the interactive form document.

Method and apparatus for providing interoperability between flat and interactive digital forms using machine-readable codes

Displaying a preview image is disclosed. An indication to display a preview image is received. The indication is based at least in part on an interaction with a menu item in an application and the menu item is associated with a dialog used to provide input to the application. In response to receiving the indication, a preview image of the dialog is obtained and the preview image is displayed with the menu item.

Previews of dialogs in applications

A method to enforce collaboration rules, in one example embodiment, comprises receiving a request to report a collaboration event to a collaboration workflow, receiving a reported time of the collaboration event, determining an origin of the reported time, updating the reported time with a central time service time when the origin of the reported time is not a central time service, and based on the updated reported time, selectively reporting the collaboration event into the collaboration workflow.
