Analysis and optimization of PDF-to-EPUB in the digital publishing process
Purpose
This paper aims to provide an optimization method of workflow for publishing houses and electronic book (e-book) studies in the field of digital publishing.
Design/methodology/approach
Based on the studies of publishing houses in Beijing, the present conversion workflow is illustrated using a functional modeling methodology. Then, the workflow is analyzed using 5W1H (why, who, what, where, when, how) methodology and optimized using ECRSI (eliminate, combine, rearrange, simplify and increase) principles. To validate the optimization effect, the workflow before and after optimization are generated and implemented by the ExtendSim® simulation software.
Findings
The simulation results show that under similar circumstances, both quantity and quality of the products are improved after optimization, which indicate that the optimization method is effective.
Practical implications
Electronic PUBlication (EPUB) has significant requirements to satisfy the needs of the mobile reading market and to earn increased profits, whereas some e-books are still preserved in a portable document format (PDF). This study results in the enhanced EPUB quality and production efficiency of the PDF-to-EPUB format conversion workflow in publishing houses. Publishing houses around the world can refer to this study to make a similar optimization when handling PDF-to-EPUB.
Originality/value
This research introduces the traditional industrial engineering analytical techniques to the workflow optimization of e-book conversion. Compared with the most of other methods used to optimize workflow, this method is simpler, more efficient and more suitable for e-book format conversion.

New Directions in Local History Since Hoskins
Utilizing the techniques developed by renowned local historian W. G. Hoskins in his landmark study published 50 years ago, Local History in England, this book demonstrates how local history has evolved as a discipline over the last half century. Fifteen historians write about a variety of local history subjects that are significant in their own right but which also point to current trends in the field. They show how local historians use their sources systematically, from the nonverbal evidence of buildings to various types of electronic sources. All periods between the middle ages and the early twenty-first century are explored, covering many parts of England from Skye to the Kent coast and discussing topics that include social, economic, religious, legal, intellectual, and cultural history.

Converting PDF files to XML files
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to develop a system that can convert PDF files to XML files.Design methodology approach - The system works with XML as an information display model and XSLT as an information extraction rule. The process is illustrated by converting a scientific and technological paper in PDF to a valid XML file.Findings - Because the PDF file adopts the self-descriptive definition, its content information and the display information exists in different objects; therefore, it is not easy to directly extract information from the PDF source file. The undirected way to solve this problem in the system design was to convert the PDF source file to a relatively easy processing intermediate format, which can then be automatically converted to the target file in accordance with relevant rules.Originality value - It is important to be able to easily and conveniently extract information from PDF files and this paper shows how it can be done. The design ideas contained in the paper can also be applied to information extraction from other types of files.

The Use of Acrobat PDF for Documents
Tim Williams explains that the use of modern digital data formats such as Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) and the Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) enables the on-line searching and publishing of data held in data repositories where the ownership rights over the intellectual property are controlled. Understanding the security and quality of the content of the documents emanating from such data repositories is vital for good business strategies to be defined. As the larger publishers move increasingly towards global trading, they will control and distribute their assets globally via the internet.

Hidost: a static machine-learning-based detector of malicious files
Malicious software, i.e., malware, has been a persistent threat in the information security landscape since the early days of personal computing. The recent targeted attacks extensively use non-executable malware as a stealthy attack vector. There exists a substantial body of previous work on the detection of non-executable malware, including static, dynamic, and combined methods. While static methods perform orders of magnitude faster, their applicability has been hitherto limited to specific file formats. This paper introduces Hidost, the first static machine-learning-based malware detection system designed to operate on multiple file formats. Extending a previously published, highly effective method, it combines the logical structure of files with their content for even better detection accuracy. Our system has been implemented and evaluated on two formats, PDF and SWF (Flash). Thanks to its modular design and general feature set, it is extensible to other formats whose logical structure is organized as a hierarchy. Evaluated in realistic experiments on timestamped datasets comprising 440,000 PDF and 40,000 SWF files collected during several months, Hidost outperformed all antivirus engines deployed by the website VirusTotal to detect the highest number of malicious PDF files and ranked among the best on SWF malware.

A robust PDF watermarking scheme with versatility and compatibility
Portable Document Format (PDF) files have emerged as a ubiquitous and multi-faceted medium for the dissemination and interchange of information. The watermarking algorithms based on PDF document have spurred much research in academia due to their practical applications in copyright protection, trace-tracking and digital forensics. In this work, we emphasize the unique nature of PDF documents among other multimedia content, and propose a robust PDF watermarking scheme with versatility and compatibility, which is competent in resisting multi-level attacks including text editing, format modification, page extraction, textbox republication, and more. We traverse over the decompressed PDF file for objects related to important elements like text, images and forms, and embed encrypted watermark as a dictionary entry inside the objects. In addition, we have developed a tamper detection algorithm that ensures content integrity and facilitates the identification of tampered areas within the watermarked file. We finally make a comparison between the proposed and existing algorithms, and our algorithm offers high invisibility, scalable embedding capacity, strong robustness. It has excellent compatibility in files with different mediums, content and languages, and it is accessible to diverse file generators and readers. Meanwhile, the method can be applied in various application scenarios like copyright protection, multi-level distribution trace tracking and tamper detection.
