Transformation Of Marked-Up Content Into A File Format That Enables Automated Browser Based Pagination

A system for transforming marked-up content in a first file format to a second file format that enables automated browser based pagination, said system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing computer program instructions defined by modules of a file format transformation system;
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to said non-transitory computer readable storage medium, said at least one processor configured to execute said defined computer program instructions;
• and
• said file format transformation system deployed on one of a client device and a server, said file format transformation system comprising:
• a content reception module for receiving said marked-up content of said first file format;
• a content reflow module for reflowing said received marked-up content of said first file format into a continuous page having a configurable page width;
• a space and block identification module for identifying spaces and block elements in said reflown marked-up content of said first file format;
• a tagging module for generating and appending tags to said identified spaces and said identified block elements in said reflown marked-up content of said first file format;
• for each of said identified spaces and said identified block elements:
• a pagination element processing module for determining line breaks in said reflown marked-up content of said first file format based on preconfigured criteria associated with said appended tags, wherein said tagging module tags said determined line breaks;
• for each of said determined line breaks:
• said pagination element processing module for identifying anchored floats in said reflown marked-up content of said first file format, wherein said tagging module tags said identified anchored floats;
• said pagination element processing module for positioning said tagged anchored floats on a current page based on availability of space for said tagged anchored floats on said current page;
• said pagination element processing module for identifying footnotes in said reflown marked-up content of said first file format, wherein said tagging module tags said identified footnotes;
• said pagination element processing module for positioning said tagged footnotes at a footnote section on said current page based on availability of space for said tagged footnotes on said current page;
• said pagination element processing module for positioning page breaks in said continuous page based on a configurable page height and said determined line breaks for said positioning of said tagged anchored floats and said tagged footnotes on a subsequent page on non-availability of said space on said current page;
• a compiler for grouping said marked-up content with said positioned anchored floats and said positioned footnotes on each page;
• and
• said pagination element processing module for inserting one or more of a plurality of pagination elements on said each page containing said grouped marked-up content;
• and
• said compiler for rendering said grouped marked-up content with said inserted one or more of said pagination elements in said second file format based on a selected level of reversibility.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having embodied thereon, computer program codes comprising instructions executable by at least one processor for transforming marked-up content in a first file format to a second file format that enables automated browser based pagination, said computer program codes comprising:

• a first computer program code for receiving said marked-up content of said first file format;
• a second computer program code for reflowing said received marked-up content of said first file format into a continuous page having a configurable page width;
• a third computer program code for identifying spaces and block elements in said reflown marked-up content of said first file format;
• a fourth computer program code for generating and appending tags to said identified spaces and said identified block elements in said reflown marked-up content of said first file format;
• for each of said identified spaces and said identified block elements:
• a fifth computer program code for determining line breaks in said reflown marked-up content of said first file format based on preconfigured criteria associated with said appended tags and a sixth computer program code for tagging said determined line breaks;
• for each of said determined line breaks:
• a seventh computer program code for identifying anchored floats in said reflown marked-up content of said first file format and an eight computer program code for tagging said identified anchored floats;
• a ninth computer program code for positioning said tagged anchored floats on a current page based on availability of space for said tagged anchored floats on said current page;
• a tenth computer program code for identifying footnotes in said reflown marked-up content of said first file format and an eleventh computer program code for tagging said identified footnotes;
• a twelfth computer program code for positioning said tagged footnotes at a footnote section on said current page based on availability of space for said tagged footnotes on said current page;
• a thirteenth computer program code for positioning page breaks in said continuous page based on a configurable page height and said determined line breaks for said positioning of said tagged anchored floats and said tagged footnotes on a subsequent page on non-availability of said space on said current page;
• a fourteenth computer program code for grouping said marked-up content with said positioned anchored floats and said positioned footnotes on each page;
• and
• a fifteenth computer program code for inserting one or more of a plurality of pagination elements on said each page containing said grouped marked-up content;
• and
• a sixteenth computer program code for rendering said grouped marked-up content with said inserted one or more of said pagination elements in said second file format based on a selected level of reversibility.
