Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating conversion of a page description language (PDL) representation of a correspondence to an accessible format are provided. According to one embodiment, a correspondence is received in a form of an input file represented in a PDL. Text strings and corresponding coordinates indicative of points at which the text strings are positioned within a printable area of a page of the correspondence or an electronic equivalent thereof are extracted from the input file. Information is received indicative of multiple groups of the text strings. Each group is processed in accordance with an associated rule selected from multiple rules to create an output file in which the text strings within a given group of the plurality of groups are excluded or included within an element of the output file based on application of the associated rule to the given group.
