FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: method for determining the sequence of the text output commands in documents includes: receiving a document by the processing device that contains a number of text output commands in the text layer. Each text output command is designed to display one or more characters on the output device; defining a set of text output commands by using a set of text output commands in the text layer for a page from multiple pages of the document; defining the logical structure of the document. The logical structure of the document contains many blocks of content that cause the order in the set of output commands in the text layer to differ from the order of reading the document; defining an ordered sequence of a set of text output commands for a page by the processing device. The ordered sequence reflects the reading order within each of the plurality of content blocks; creating a modified text layer for the document by the processing device, where this modified text layer will contain a set of text output commands in the ordered sequence; and providing the processing device with the modified text layer to cause the output device to perform a mapping of a set of symbols corresponding to the set of text output instructions in the ordered sequence.
EFFECT: determination of text outcome sequence in documents.
