Abstract
A method for defining a document format transformation process for documents similar to an example document includes the following steps. An example document is provided in a first format. At least one anchor point is then specified within the example document. The anchor points serve to mark out regions of data within the example document. Positions are then defined for respective regions within a central format. During the transformation process, the data extracted from each region is transferred into the respective position. The method enables transforming documents similar to the example document into the central format.
