THE CHALLENGE

Scientific PDFs pack multi-column text, equations, tables, and figures onto a page. Reading order alone is hard; keeping the tables and math faithful is harder.

THE DOCEN APPROACH

Docen recovers reading order across columns, keeps tables as structured cells, preserves equations, and pairs figures with their captions.

Restore reading order across columns.
Preserve equations and mathematical notation.
Keep tables intact as structured cells.
Pair figures with their captions.
