XCDF is a binary data format designed to store data fields with user-specified accuracy. The library uses bit-packing to store the field at the given accuracy for a given set of values and therefore provides …

XCDF solves these problems by providing a layer of abstraction between the data and data readers, and by dynamically calculating maximum and minimum field values as data are written. XCDF stores …

XCDF is proposed as a canonical format for structured electronic documents to improve content access. XED reverse engineers PDF files into the XCDF format using a ten-step physical structure analysis. …

This paper presents XCDF, a canonical format for representing electronic document in a unique and structured way; it is also an entry point for further researches on electronic analysis.

After XCDF v3.00.03 support for Python2 has been dropped. This is a simple tutorial on how to write an XCDF file and read its contents in Python3 using numpy data structures. First we will write a file …

The eXplicitly Compacted Data Format (XCDF) is written and maintained by Jim Braun at the University of Maryland. XCDF is a binary data format designed to store data fields with user-specified accuracy.

(Bloechle et al., 2006) describes a geometrical method to find the text blocks in a PDF document and to restructure the document into a Canonical and Structured Document Format (XCDF).

Then, XCDF, a canonical format with well-defined properties is proposed as a suitable solution for representing structured electronic documents and as an entry point for further researches and works.

The eXplicitly Compacted Data Format (XCDF) is written and maintained by Jim\nBraun at the University of Maryland. XCDF is a binary data format designed\nto store data fields with user …

Accessing the structured content of PDF document is a difficult task, requiring pre-processing and reverse engineering techniques. In this paper, we first present different methods to accomplish this …
