1. A method for converting a fixed format document containing vector graphics and fixed format text into a flow format document, the method comprising the acts of: detecting fixed format text on a page of a fixed format document: detecting one or more vector paths on the page of the fixed format document; aggregating the one or more vector paths associated with the fixed format text into one or more lines; classifying the aggregated vector paths as one or more characteristics that are associated with the fixed format text; displaying on a page of a flow format document the fixed format text as flowable text having the one or more characteristics associated with the fixed format text; and displaying any of the detected vector paths not associated with the fixed format text as one or more graphical elements in the flow format document.

The method of claim 1 characterized in that the act of detecting one or more vector paths on the page of the fixed format document further comprises the act of detecting that the one or more vector paths are a line running in the same direction as and proximate to the detected fixed format text on the page.
