Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product for determining the structure of a document are provided. The method includes receiving a set of document pages for a document and linking one page frame to each of a plurality of document pages in the set. For each document page linked to a page frame, a content bounding box surrounding the content on the document page is identified, and the document page categorized, based at least in part on the geometrical relationship between the page frame and the content bounding box of the document page. The document page can then be identified as a logical cut based at least in part on the categorization of the document page. Information, such as a table of contents or updated table of contents, can then be output, based on the determined logical unit(s) of the document.
