Abstract
A computer system and method for processing a digital image into reflow content is presented. A computer system includes a processor and a memory. The computer system is configured to process a digital image by first obtaining the digital image, wherein the digital image includes at least some content suitable for conversion into reflow content. The computer system identifies any headers or footers that exist within the digital image. The computer system then processes the digital image into reflow content, excluding any content within an identified header or footer. Headers and/or footers are identified according to one or more aspects indicative of a header/footer, such as separating white space, a separator line, sequences indicative of page numbering, and the like.
