CONVERTING DOCUMENTS

A method of converting a document, such as a document complying with the CEN-XFS standard for Forms. The method comprises accessing format parameters; reading information from the document; parsing the read information to detect attributes and text; identifying any detected attributes not consistent with the accessed format parameters; converting any identified attributes not consistent with the accessed format parameters into attributes consistent with the accessed format parameters; and creating a converted document in which all of the attributes conform to the accessed format parameters.
