1. A computing device for extracting target data from a source document, the computing device comprising:
a memory storing target data extraction rules;
a processor connected with the memory, the processor configured to:
obtain text recognition data returned from a text recognition process applied to an image of the source document, the text recognition data indicating locations of text structures on the source document;
define text lines based on the text recognition data by a smallest bounding box surrounding all words satisfying a same-line condition, wherein the same-line condition includes: (a) character heights of the words are within a predetermined percentage, and (b) the words are horizontally aligned;
identify a reference string from the text recognition data;
select a subset of the text lines based on a location of the reference string and the target data extraction rules; and
output the subset of the text lines as the target data.
