You may have heard the phrase "Repurposing content" before, but what does it actually mean? Specifically, it refers to the meaningful reuse of content, such as its publishing to secondary media types (e.g. HTML for posting on the web) or entry into Content Management Systems (CMS). "Repurposing" is generally used to refer to the complete extraction of information, including document structure (i.e. tags), metadata etc., and should allow for lossless round-tripping of content (e.g. PDF to HTML and back to PDF).

Although there are many conversion and extraction options available, most do not take advantage of tagged PDF, and cannot deliver well-formed XML output. This can have accessibility repercussions, and complicate the posting of compliant web content.

Deque's Undoc for PDF can either translate existing PDF tags or apply generic tags to PDF documents. The XML and HTML outputs are well-formatted, while being clear enough for the average layman to follow. This allows for simple, intuitive editing of the content, and makes adding it to a CMS child's play.
