Abstract
A paragraph alignment detection engine and a section reconstruction engine. The paragraph alignment detection engine determines the paragraph alignment of a paragraph and updates the paragraph alignment property of the paragraph in the data store for single line and multi-line paragraphs. The paragraph alignment detection engine employs per paragraph comparisons and relative comparisons to other paragraphs to determine the paragraph alignment of a single line paragraph. The paragraph alignment detection engine employs per paragraph comparisons and relative comparisons of the lines of a paragraph to determine the paragraph alignment of a multi-line paragraph. The section reconstruction engine minimizes the number of sections created in the flow format document by identifying the columns on each page, combining contiguous pages with the same column layout into a single section, and creating alternative objects to contain regions associated special cases in lieu of creating additional sections.
