Abstract
A system and method iteratively update a determined structure of a digital document file to remediate disconnected text in blocks of the determined structure. In embodiments, a method includes determining a structure of a digital document file using a document understanding analysis, the structure including blocks of elements having text information; determining for each of the blocks of the digital document file whether text information in the block is disconnected; determining an order of the blocks in the digital document file; pairing two blocks from a list of blocks with disconnected text information to form a block pair, wherein the two blocks are ordered based on the determined order of the blocks; determining that the text information of the block pair forms a complete sentence using natural language processing; and consolidating the block pair to form a new block.
