Abstract :
Interoperability and reusability are becoming challenging problems in document engineering that cannot be solved satisfactorily with converters and filters. This paper advocates a new approach for logical structure recovery by means of document recognition techniques that operate on synthetic images, such as those rendered by a PostScript interpreter. Differences with respect to scanned images are discussed on the basis of a sample application
