Text resizing within an embedded image

Abstract

A computer receives user preferences. The computer receives a document, wherein the document includes an image. The computer determines that the image contains embedded text. The computer determines that the embedded text does not satisfy the received user preferences. The computer modifies the embedded text to satisfy user preferences.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for modifying text embedded within an image, comprising the steps of:
 a computer receiving user preferences;   the computer receiving a document, wherein the document includes an image;   the computer determining that the image contains embedded text;   the computer determining that the embedded text does not satisfy the user preferences; and   the computer modifying the embedded text to satisfy the user preferences.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein user preferences include one or more of a preferred text size and a preferred font style, and wherein a preferred font style includes one or more of a preferred text color, a preferred text style, a preferred sharpness of text, and a preferred edge detail. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of the computer determining that the embedded text does not satisfy the user preferences comprises the computer comparing the user preferences with the embedded text. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of the computer modifying the embedded text to satisfy the user preferences further comprises:
 the computer extracting the embedded text from an original position;   the computer modifying the embedded text that is extracted in order to satisfy the user preferences; and   the computer overlaying the embedded text that is extracted and modified atop the image.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising the step of the computer utilizing photo correction software to fill in one or more portions of the image that have been corrupted as a result of the extraction of the embedded text. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the computer overlays the embedded text that is extracted and modified atop the image within a scrollable text box. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the computer overlays the embedded text that is extracted and modified atop the image within a text box while utilizing indicators to identify the original position of the text. 
     
     
         8 . A computer program product for modifying text embedded within an image, the computer program product comprising:
 one or more computer-readable storage devices and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage devices, the program instructions comprising:   program instructions to receive user preferences;   program instructions to receive a document, wherein the document includes an image;   program instructions to determine that the image contains embedded text;   program instructions to determine that the embedded text does not satisfy the user preferences; and   program instructions to modify the embedded text to satisfy the user preferences.   
     
     
         9 . The computer program product of  claim 8 , wherein user preferences include one or more of a preferred text size and a preferred font style, and wherein font style includes one or more of text color, text style, sharpness of text and edge detail. 
     
     
         10 . The computer program product of  claim 8 , wherein the program instructions to determine that the embedded text does not satisfy the user preferences further comprises program instructions to compare the user preferences with the embedded text. 
     
     
         11 . The computer program product of  claim 8 , wherein the program instructions to modify the embedded text to satisfy the user preferences further comprises:
 program instructions to extract the embedded text from an original position;   program instructions to modify the extracted text that is extracted in order to satisfy the user preferences; and   program instructions to overlay the embedded text that is extracted and modified atop the image.   
     
     
         12 . The computer program product of  claim 11 , further comprising program instructions to utilize photo correction software to fill in one or more portions of the image that have been corrupted as a result of the extraction of the embedded text. 
     
     
         13 . The computer program product of  claim 11 , further comprising program instructions to overlay the embedded text that is extracted and modified atop the image within a scrollable text box. 
     
     
         14 . The computer program product of  claim 11 , further comprising program instructions to overlay the embedded text that is extracted and modified atop the image within a text box while utilizing indicators to identify the original position of the text. 
     
     
         15 . A computer system for modifying text embedded within an image, the computer system comprising:
 one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising:   program instructions to receive user preferences;   program instructions to receive a document, wherein the document includes an image;   program instructions to determine that the image contains embedded text;   program instructions to determine that the embedded text does not satisfy the user preferences; and   program instructions to modify the embedded text to satisfy the user preferences.   
     
     
         16 . The computer system of  claim 15 , wherein user preferences include one or more of a preferred text size and a preferred font style, and wherein font style includes one or more of text color, text style, sharpness of text and edge detail. 
     
     
         17 . The computer system of  claim 15 , wherein the program instructions to determine that the text does not satisfy the user preferences further comprises of program instructions to compare the user preferences with the embedded text. 
     
     
         18 . The computer system of  claim 15 , wherein program instructions to modify the embedded text to satisfy the user preferences further comprises:
 program instructions to extract the embedded text from an original position;   program instructions to modify the embedded text that is extracted in order to satisfy the user preferences; and   program instructions to overlay the embedded text that is extracted and modified atop the image.   
     
     
         19 . The computer system of  claim 18 , further comprising program instructions to overlay the embedded text that is extracted and modified atop the image within a scrollable text box.
