Abstract
Format processing systems for converting the format of a document are disclosed. In this regard, a representative document processing system includes a file conversion system configured to receive information corresponding to a first document as well as receive information corresponding to a second format to which the information corresponding to the first document is to be converted. Additionally, the file conversion system is configured to retrieve information corresponding to a set of format rules, the set of format rules corresponding to the second format.
