Good afternoon,

Do you have some recommends and/or sample code for comparing textual and geometric layout information across pages? [in C or C++]

Basically I'm trying to realise patterns within documents, e.g., page
numbers, header and footers, title, column information &etc; using regex [which will recognise the patterns and store them in a boost::bimap.]

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor
