Terminal, apparatus and method for optimizing the description of text contents in a fixed-layout document

A method for optimizing the description of contents in a layout document, the method comprising:

• paring the content of an original layout document to obtain text graphic unit data;
• identifying text properties of each character of the text graphic unit data, and classifying characters of the text graphic unit data according to the text properties, to save characters with the same text properties to the same text node along with the same text properties;
• for characters saved in each text node, saving characters on the same line or column, coordinates of an initial character on the same line or column, average character spacing of the same line or column to a text content node to obtain optimized contents in the layout document,
• wherein the text content node is a text content node under the text node and corresponding to the same line or column.

An apparatus for optimizing the description of contents in a layout document, the apparatus comprising a processor, the processor is configured to:

• paring the content of an original layout document to obtain text graphic unit data;
• identifying text properties of each character of the text graphic unit data, and classifying characters of the text graphic unit data according to the text properties, to save characters with the same text properties to the same text node along with the same text properties;
• for characters saved in each text node, saving characters on the same line or column, coordinates of an initial character on the same line or column, average character spacing of the same line or column to a text content node to obtain optimized contents in the layout document,
• wherein the text content node is a text content node under the text node and corresponding to the same line or column.
