Are there qualifications or alternative appraoches here? That is, Leonard has
sometimes
offered that it is possible to preserve the logical structure in a document
so that people who want to use computers to automate data processing
instead of just look at pictures can, with varying amounts of effort, do so
with a pdf file.
If an ambitious pdf author wanted to allow a user to extract a csv file
equivalent to his table, without all the formatting junk and just the data,
how may he go about designing the document ? Data generally gomes into
forms either from manual entry ( typing ) or some other source in a
character format not garbled into pixels using an arbitrary font. It
would be nice in many cases to preserve this information.
Thanks.
