Description

The information processing apparatus relating to file conversion relates to the processing method and a program with the document management system.

Conventionally, there is an electronic form system which receives data from a form, which is a paper medium, from a host (upper system), converts the data into an electronic form (form data), and stores and manages the form.
This electronic form system converts data into a unique file format so that the electronic form can be browsed and searched on the system. (For example, Patent Document 1)

JP 2012-123574 A

  However, in recent years, it is desirable to capture not only data such as mainframes but also files such as PDF format generated by a general-purpose computer, in addition to data such as mainframes.

  In this case, it is easy to simply import a PDF file, but it has been difficult to view and browse the document in the same manner as the electronic form of the unique format stored in the electronic form system.

This is because the electronic form system takes in the form data (host form), which has been input so far, as the starting point of outputting to the high-speed machine (line printer), page information, form information, data information (text, characters It is assumed that it takes the form of). Page information is information that determines line and page layout, form information is information that determines ruled lines and image information, and data information is information that determines data (text and characters) in line units and character units. . On the other hand, there is no concept of “line” in intermediate format files such as PDF files, and free layout is possible, and it is difficult to treat them like electronic documents even if they can be saved. The

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism to handle the document files such as PDF files, easily in other file formats of the system.

In order to achieve the object of the present invention, a second information system comprises text information, form information and page information generated using a document file of a first format including text data, text attribute information and ruled line information an information processing apparatus for storing the document file format, a document file of the first type of a plurality of pages, arrangement position acquisition for acquiring positions of text extracted from each page of the document file Line information that is an output area for each line of text data in the common form specified by the ruled line information based on the arrangement position of the text on the plurality of pages acquired by the means and the arrangement position acquisition means common form information in a plurality of pages and determining means for determining, extracted from the ruled line information of the document file of the first format And characterized in that it comprises a registration means for registering a second format document file using said text data and the text information extracted from the text attribute information of the first format document file, and the line information Do.

According to the present invention, it is possible to handle the document files such as PDF files, easily in other file formats of the system.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a schematic configuration of an electronic form system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, the form server 100 stores, as an electronic form management device, data (hereinafter referred to as “form data” or “form file”) of a plurality of types of electronic forms (hereinafter simply referred to as “form”). It manages and provides services such as browsing and searching of form files to the client PCs 101 and 102 via the network 103. Further, the form server 100 converts the host data output from the host 104 into an electronic form and stores the converted form. Furthermore, the form server 100 receives the PDF file and converts the PDF file into form data.

  The client PCs 101 and 102 are information processing apparatuses such as personal computers used by users. The client PCs 101 and 102 are configured to be communicable with the form server 100 via the network 103, and can make a search request for a form file to the form server 100 and browse the search results.

The network 103 is configured by, for example, a LAN (LOCAL AREA NETWORK), the Internet, or the like. The various devices connected to the network 103 are not limited to the illustrated example, and various devices may be connected according to the application and purpose.
That is, FIG. 1 shows a form system in which an information processing apparatus for displaying form data and a server for managing form data are communicably connected.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the form server 100 in FIG.

  In FIG. 2, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 201 controls various devices connected to the system bus 204 and implements various functions by executing various programs. A RAM 202 is a main memory of the CPU 201 and functions as a work area, a temporary save area, and the like. The ROM 203 or the external memory 211 stores an operating system (OS) that is a control program of the CPU 201 and a program 212 for realizing various functions in the form server 100. The CPU 201 loads these programs into the RAM 202 and executes them as necessary. The form file 213 and the index file 214 used when executing the program 212 are stored in the external memory 211. The DB (database) 215 stores form data storage information (form ID, form name, storage destination directory link, etc.).

  The input controller 205 controls an operation input from the input unit 209 configured of, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, and the like. The display controller 206 controls display on the display unit 210. The display unit 210 is configured of, for example, a CRT or a liquid crystal display.

An external memory controller (MC) 207 controls access to the external memory 211 that stores a boot program, various applications, user files, and edit files. In addition, various tables and parameters for realizing various functions of the server or each client PC are stored. The external memory 211 is configured by a hard disk (HD), a flexible disk (FD), a magnetic tape drive, or the like.
The communication I / F controller 208 controls communication with an external device such as a client PC performed via the network 103.

Since the client PCs 101 and 102 have the same hardware configuration as the form server 100, the description thereof is omitted. As for the form file 213, the client PC receives only the part necessary for display from the form server 100, so the client PC 101, 102 does not hold it in advance. The client PCs 101 and 102 hold a client module for displaying the form file 213, and hold a program different from the program 212 in the form server 100. The client PCs 101 and 102 can display the form file 213 or specify a search condition for an arbitrary form file 213.
When the form server 100 receives the PDF file, the CPU 201 analyzes the PDF file and generates the form file 213.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a configuration example of the form file 213. As shown in FIG.
The form file 213 (first document data) is included in a form information file 3301 (a fourth file for storing form data to be combined with text data) which defines layouts such as ruled lines and figures in the form and the form. A text information file 3302 (a first file for storing text data) related to characters, and a character information file 3303 (a second file for storing attribute information of text data) for defining line pitches and fonts of characters in a form The form information is constituted by a page information file 3304 (a third file for storing the drawing position of the text data) which determines the arrangement of the form text data.

  When the client PC 101 displays a form (form image), form data for display is generated from the four information files shown in the form server 100, and the form data is downloaded and temporarily stored in the hard disk and read into the work memory. After that, it is displayed on the display as a form.

  The form file 213 is composed of one or more files and contains one or more pages. The form server 100 manages the same type of form files 213 of the plurality of form files as a group, and each form file 213 is called a generation in the group. For example, like business daily reports, forms of the same type with different dates are managed as generations.

  Next, referring to FIG. 4, the form file 213 (first file and second file) is generated from the PDF file (second document data including text data, text data attribute information, and ruled line information in one file). A schematic diagram in the case of conversion to the second document data including the third file and the fourth file will be described.

  When the input PDF file is registered in the electronic form system, the PDF file is analyzed to generate a form information file, a text information file, a page information file, and a character information file.

  For example, FIG. 4 shows the first line "Aieueo", the second line, "Kakigukeko" and the third line "Sashisuseso", and converts a PDF file having ruled lines (underscore) under each character string into a form file This is an example of

  When converted, the text information file stores the origin of coordinates, the number of lines, the page information file ID to be used, the form information file ID to be used, and the text data of each line.

  The character information file stores information of each character, for example, font, height, width, pitch, thickness, italics, and SKIP (the number of dots shifted from the origin in the case of the first character).

The page information file stores information of each page, for example, the paper size, the number of line breaks, the number of records, the page information file ID, the print start horizontal position, the print start vertical position, the text start position, and the text end position. . The position is assumed to be the number of dots.
The form information file stores an image file including a form information file ID, a coordinate origin, and a ruled line.

  Next, creation of a PDF form definition, which is a premise of PDF registration, will be described using FIG.

  The administrator's client PC accesses the form server 100 to display the setting screen of FIG. 5 on the client PC. In this setting screen, setting is made to detect the PDF stored in a predetermined folder of the form server 100.

  The form type (PDF) and the host transfer file name designate the file name of the stored PDF file. This makes it possible to obtain necessary PDF files and convert them into form files.

  In addition, the host printer name for converting the form data to be input is specified. The setting information is stored in a storage unit such as a database, and a PDF file is acquired based on the setting information to execute conversion processing.

Next, referring to FIG. 6, the entire flowchart of the conversion process will be described. Each process is executed by the CPU 201 of the form server 100.
In step S01, the form server 100 receives the PDF file and stores it in the SPOOL folder.

  In step S02, the form server 100 monitors the SPOOL folder, and acquires the PDF file stored in the SPOOL folder. That is, this step is a step showing an example of a loading process for loading second document data including text data, text data attribute information, and ruled line information in one file.

  In step S03, it is determined whether there is a PDF file that matches the PDF form definition set in FIG. If it is determined that a matching (predetermined) PDF file exists, the process proceeds to step S05. If it is determined that there is no matching (predetermined) PDF file, the process proceeds to step S04, and an error is recorded (step S04).

  In step S05, it is determined whether the type of the PDF form definition is "PDF". If it is "PDF", the process proceeds to step S07. If it is not "PDF", the process moves to step S06 and an error is recorded (step S06).

  In step S07, analysis of the PDF file is started. In the analysis, ruled lines are extracted, it is identified as the same form, and information based on PDF configuration information is generated. Also, coordinates of each character are determined from the character string of the PDF file, and source information of data information is generated.

  In step S08, an intermediate file is generated based on the analysis result of the PDF file. This intermediate file is saved in the temporary storage folder. The intermediate files are data information (SVG format), form information (SVG format), and PDF configuration information (text format). The SVG format is a file described in XML format.

  The data information is created for each page of the PDF file, and text data and position information (one character each) to be drawn are stored for each page. A diagram showing an example of the data information is 801 in FIG. Based on 801, the characters are rearranged in ascending order of the X coordinate for each Y coordinate (each line) of each character. That is, the arrangement processing is to arrange characters of each line according to the X coordinate of the arrangement position for each character of text data.

The form information is created as many pieces as ruled line information of each page of the PDF file, an image, and the like. If all pages have the same form (layout), there is one form information. The ruled line extraction is realized by acquiring ruled lines using information having ruled line attributes included in the PDF file or using a known ruled line extraction technique. Form information is generated based on the extracted ruled line information. That is, this is ruled line extraction processing for extracting ruled line information from the second document data.
Whether it is different or not is determined based on hash values of information such as ruled line information and images extracted from each page.

  The PDF configuration information is a file created for each PDF file, and is a file that defines how many pages the PDF file comprises, page information used on each page, and form information. FIG. 7 shows an example of the PDF configuration information.

In step S09, line information is totaled based on the intermediate file. The tabulation of line information will be described later using the flowchart of FIG. That is, this is a line specifying process for specifying a line common to the pages from the arrangement position of the text data of each page of the second document data.
In step S10, a common page definition is created from the line information totaling result. The creation of the common page definition will be described later using the flowchart of FIG.
In step S11, unique form data is created using the common page definition. The creation of form data will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In step S12, this process ends.

Next, line information tabulation processing will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
In step S13, the PDF configuration information is read, and in step S14, it is held in the internal memory.

In step S15, the form information of the header page of the PDF configuration information is confirmed, a file list is created for each form, and is stored in the internal memory. An example of the file list is 901, and which form of data information is stored in association with each form information.
In step S16, the created data file list is acquired, and processing is started in units of forms.
At step S17, data information is read, and at step S18, the read data is stored in the internal memory as a line list (802).

In step S19, data for one line is read from the line list, and in step S20, the Y coordinate data of the read data for one line is used as the end position of the vertical (Y coordinate) of the line information tabulation result in the electronic document system. Add to internal memory. At this time, when the same Y coordinate data exists, it is not added, but a value obtained by subtracting the value of line height (size of character) is added as a vertical (Y coordinate) start position. That is, it is line position determination processing of determining the position of a line according to the Y coordinate of the arrangement position of the text data.
FIG. 10 is an image diagram showing an outline of a row in which Y coordinates are collected.
In step S21, the row list is repeated, and the Y-coordinate data is merged with the row aggregation result.

  In step S22, when the repetition process of step S21 ends, a row information totaling result for one data information is created. An example of the row information totaling result for one data information is 902. That is, this is a characteristic step of the line specifying process for specifying a line common to pages from the arrangement position of the text data of each page of the second document data. Also, according to the row position (Y coordinate) of each page, a row common to pages is specified.

In step S23, the process is repeated by the number of data files, and in step S24, the row information totaling result of all the data information of each form information file is created. An example of the row information totaling result of all the data information is 903.
In step S25, the row information totaling result (903) created for each form is sorted in ascending order by Y coordinate. An example of the sorted row information aggregation result is 904.

In step S26, from the sorted Y-coordinates, the differences of Y-coordinates to become a line feed width are totaled and created, line feed width information is added to the line information tabulation result, and held in the internal memory. An example of the line information tabulation result obtained by adding line feed width information is 905. It is "0" when the print line can be generated using the information of the previous line. Y1 to Y4 indicated by 905 are line information of each line in which the text is included.
In step S27, the line information totaling result created for each form is held in the internal memory.
In step S28, the process is repeated for the number of forms, the line information totaling result for all forms is created, and the line information totaling result list is created.

  Next, common page definition processing will be described using the flowchart in FIG.

In step S29, the common page definition creation process is started using the created line information (Y coordinate) of all pages. Processing starts based on the row information totaling result created for each form. For example, the row information totaling result of Form 1 is acquired from the row information totaling result list (for example, 905). By repeating this for each form, a common page definition common to all pages will be created for each form.
In step S30, an object storing information on the common page definition is created in the internal memory.
In step S31, a list of row information (Y coordinate) is acquired from the row information totaling result.
In step S32, information on the first line is acquired from the acquired list of line information (Y coordinates).

In step S33, the number of lines is acquired from the line information aggregation result as the value of the print line (line information) necessary for the common page definition, and the horizontal (X coordinate) / vertical (Y coordinate) of the first line is obtained from the first line information. The start position of) is stored as common page definition information. Since the print line is line information, the horizontal (X coordinate) as the start position is registered as “0”.
The figure which shows the outline of a print line is an image figure of FIG.

  In step S34, using the print line position, the horizontal (X coordinate) / vertical (Y coordinate) start position of the first line from the information of the first line as the value of the field (text area) required for common page definition -The end position is stored as common page definition information. The area where text can be drawn in the electronic form system is 48 dots inside (effective print area) from the end of the paper size, so the horizontal (X coordinate) start position is "48" and the end position is "paper size-48" ( Register as dots). In addition, for the start and end positions of the vertical (Y coordinate), values held in the information of the first row are registered.

Note that the values of the fields may be registered using the row information tabulation result 905. The Y coordinate can be identified from the line information tabulation result. The value of this field is stored in the page information file.
In step S35, line feed width information is acquired from the information of the first line as a value of line feed width (line difference information) required in the common page definition.
In step S36, it is determined whether the set line number of the line feed width is "0".

In step S37, if it is not “0” (= new line width exists), the value of new line width and the number of lines to which the applicable new line width is applied are stored as information of common page definition as new line width information. At this time, if it is "0", the next line information is acquired.
In step S38, it is determined whether the line feed width information is the first line.

  In step S39, if it is not the first line, the common page definition is updated so as to extend the height of the field stored in the common page definition by the value of the line feed width. In the case of the first row, since the field has already been created with the value of the first row, processing of the next row information is performed without doing anything. As described above, by performing processing for the line feed width information, the line feed width information held in the line information totaling result is created as a common page definition.

In step S40, when the process of creating the row information totaling result for the number of rows and the number of forms as the common page definition is finished, the creation of the common page definition is ended at this time. A conceptual diagram of shared page definition is shown in FIG. According to FIG. 11, common line information can be specified for the same form and all pages.
In step S41, a list is created in which common page definitions created for each form are linked.

  Next, processing for creating unique form data (form result file) using the common page definition will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

In step S42, a text data conversion converter for creating text information / character information is created in the internal memory. The converter for text data conversion is for converting data in order to analyze data information created as intermediate data and create text information / character information using a common page definition.
In step S43, data files are acquired in page order and read as a row list.

At step S44, the read data is held in the internal memory. It is assumed that the information acquired as the row information totaling result is already discarded from the memory, so it is read again here. Considering the processing speed, it is faster to reuse the read data. However, depending on the number of pages, it may lead to memory pressure, so it is read when necessary.

In step S45, a common page definition (common page generated in FIG. 14) to be used in the corresponding data file is specified and acquired from the PDF configuration information and the common page definition storage information for each form. After that, it becomes processing of the text data conversion converter. Here, the text data conversion converter is executed by passing information of the read data line list, page number, and common page definition.
In step S46, a text object (text information) of a unique format is created in the memory.
In step S47, a map pattern (character information) of a unique format is created in the memory.
In step S48, print line and line feed width information is acquired from the common page definition.
In step S49, as many print line data objects as the number of lines set in the print line are created in the internal memory.

In step S50, the print line data object is for allocating the text in line units held in the line list of data, and using this data, the text information of the original form data (form result file) is created Will be.
In step S51, data for one line is acquired from the line list of data.
In step S52, it is determined whether the Y coordinate of the print line of the common page definition matches the Y coordinate of one line of data.

  In step S53, if there is a match, one line of text is assigned to the print line data object. If it does not match, assign NULL as no data.

In step S54, the Y coordinate of the print line in the common page definition is shifted by the line feed width, and the process is repeated until the line list of data is assigned to all print line data objects.
FIG. 13 is a schematic view of the process of assigning to the print data object.

  In step S55, after all the line lists of data are allocated, if the number of lines of the print line data object is left, all the remaining are allocated NULL.

  In step S56, in order to facilitate the conversion of the data assigned to the print line data object into unique form data, a storage list is created for creating a text list of one page that is easy to convert.

  In step S57, in order to store a text list in line units in this list, a text object / map pattern of unique form data is created in text units (one character unit) of one line allocated to the print line data. . The map pattern holds information such as the number of bytes for each character, height, width, font, pitch (interval with the next character), italics, and bold. Note that fonts, italics, bold characters, etc. are stored as the attributes of the characters of the PDF file.

In step S58, the created text object for one line is added to the text list, and this process is repeated by the number of lines assigned to the print line data. This creates a text list for one page. That is, it is text data identification processing that identifies text data included in the identified line.
In step S59, the text list for one page is converted as text information for one page so that it can be easily converted into text information of original form data in a batch.
In step S60, the map pattern on the memory is similarly converted as a map pattern for one page.

  In step S61, text information for one page is written as a text information file (REP file), and a text information file storing information for one page is created.

  In step S62, the one-page map pattern is written as a character information file (MAP file), and a character information file in which information for one page is stored is created. By repeatedly performing the above processing, text information files and character information files for all pages are created.

  In step S63, the created common page definition information is written as page information files (PAG files) as many as the created number. Here, the values of the fields are stored, and the area of each line of each page is defined. The value of this field is used for text search in the unique file format.

  In the present embodiment, the X coordinate of the end position of the value of the field is "paper size-48" (dot) described in step S34, but it is also possible to define the coordinate of the end of the text of each line. In this case, an unnecessary area is defined, and the file becomes a more appropriate proprietary format file.

  In step S64, the form information (form information generated in S08) created as intermediate data is converted into a form to be written to a form information file (FRM file), and is written to the file.

  In the processing of steps S61 to S64, a second file in which attribute information obtained from the second document data is assigned to the first file including the text data identified in the text data identification process and each text data A third file storing a file and a position where the determined text data is drawn according to the line specified in the line specifying process, and a fourth file storing form data including ruled line information extracted by the ruled line extraction process This is a file generation process for generating a file.

In step S65, form identification information is added to the original form data (form result file) using the common page definition, and the registration in the electronic form system is completed. That is, the registration process is to register the first file, the second file, the third file, and the fourth file generated by the file generation process as a first document.
When registration is complete, the PDF file is deleted. Further, using the registered original form data, the form is browsed by the browser of the client terminal.

  The present embodiment has been described above, but in the present embodiment, when the form file 213 is displayed, ACTIVE-X is downloaded from the form server 100 to the client PC, and the form file 213 is displayed by the browser on the client PC. Be done. In addition, although various display controls are configured to be controlled using ACTIVE-X, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a client server system may be configured without using a browser. In this case, it is also possible to realize in advance by installing a unique program capable of displaying and searching the form file 213 on the client PC side.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, document data including text data such as a PDF file, text data attribute information, and ruled line information in one file is converted into a file that can be easily handled by the electronic voucher system. Can.
