The electronic document server 120 is connected to the creator terminal 110 through a network (S310). For example, the author may access the Internet through the creator terminal 110 and access the electronic document server 120 using the URL of the electronic document server 120 . Alternatively, the author may access a search site of the Internet and search for a word related to the electronic document server 120, for example, 'business electronic document', and the Internet search site may search for the URL of the electronic document server 120 at the creator terminal It can be provided to 110 , and the creator terminal 110 can access the electronic document server 120 using the provided URL. As an example of the access method, the author may perform a user login to the electronic document server 120 and request an order for an electronic document for work based on the content file possessed by the author.

Then, the electronic document server 120 may receive the content file from the creator terminal 110 (S320). A content file is a file containing text or images for the production of electronic documents for work, and the type is not limited. For example, content files include document files such as PDF (Portable Document Format), DOC (Document), and HWP, and images such as TIF (Tagged Image Format File), JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group), and GIF (Graphics Interchange Format). File, PPT (Powerpoint), PPTX (Powerpoint X), such as the type of the presentation file may be included. For example, the electronic document server 120 may receive one or more content files from the creator terminal 110 . The received content file may be stored in the database 220 of the electronic document server 120 . In general, content files produced as business documents are produced in the form of PDF, DOC, and PPT. By receiving such a content file from the electronic document server 120 , there is an advantage in that the contents (images and texts) contained in the content file can be directly utilized in the production of an electronic document for work.

Then, the control unit 230 of the electronic document server 120 separates the image and text from the received content file and extracts (S330). In the separation extraction of text, it can be done by optical character recognition (OCR). OCR removes unnecessary parts of the input text image through the thinning process and regionalization process, and then converts the text line into a unit thickness while maintaining the connectivity of the text lines. , consonants, etc. can be recognized after separation. If there is a problem in the recognition process, a more granular process can be entered or the previous process can be repeated. After completing this process, when character recognition is completed, the characters can be extracted in text format. Separation of the image may refer to extraction of a raster image having information in the form of pixels. A raster image means an image having information in units of pixels, and extraction of the raster image may be performed by analyzing document information. For example, color information for each pixel may be calculated as RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) values while circulating coordinates corresponding to the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the image.

In addition, the electronic document server 120 may provide the extracted image and text information and an editing screen for generating an electronic document for work to the creator terminal 110 (S340).
