Claim One:
1. A method of generating a graphical organization of a digital version of a document page using a document processing system including a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory for performing the method, the method comprising: a) the processor extracting a description of the digital version of the document page, the description including a length of the document page, a width of the document page, and one or more graphical line descriptions, the graphical line descriptions associated with a position and length of one or more graphical lines present in the document page; b) the processor generating an initial zone to cover a predetermined first area of the document page which is equal to or less than a total area of the page, the predetermined first area including an initial zone length and initial zone width; c) the processor determining if one or more dimensional graphical lines are within the initial zone, where the dimensional graphical lines are defined as graphical lines present in the initial zone where the graphical line length is substantially equivalent to the initial zone length or width; d) if the initial zone includes one or more dimensional graphical lines, the processor generating one or more grid-tables including the one or more dimensional graphical lines providing horizontal and/or vertical boundaries associated with cells of the generated grid-tables; and e) if the initial zone does not include one or more dimensional graphic lines, e1) the processor generating one or more subzones to cover an area within the initial zone, each subzone area including a subzone length and subzone width; e2) the processor determining if one or more subzone dimensional graphic lines are present within each subzone, where the subzone dimensional graphic lines are defined as graphic lines with line lengths substantially equivalent to the subzone length or width; e3) if the subzone includes one or more subzone dimensional graphic lines, the processor generating one or more subzone grid-tables including the one or more subzone dimensional graphic lines providing horizontal and/or vertical boundaries associated with cells of the generated subzone grid-tables; f) the processor generating attributes associated with the document page, the attributes including a list of generated zone descriptions and a list of respective grid-table descriptions.
