7. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the sections comprises a chapter of a book.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the sections is selected from the group consisting of a page, a paragraph, and a sentence.
9. The method of claim 1, additionally comprising converting the electronic document from a digital image of a document to a textual image of the document.
10. The method of claim 1, further comprising partitioning the list of keywords of said source data object, and creating multiple electronic documents using the partitioned list of keywords.
The claims below are in addition to those above.

wherein the leading surface includes a central portion, a leading edge, and a peripheral portion interconnecting the central portion and the leading edge; and
wherein the central portion and the peripheral portion define an angle therebetween that is less than 175 degrees; and
causing the leading surface of the die component to contact the uniform first thickness of the first layer such that the leading edge of the die component applies pressure to the first layer prior to puncturing through the uniform first thickness of the first layer, through the uniform second thickness of the second layer, and through the uniform third thickness of the third layer of the sheet thereby to cut a part from the sheet.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first material is one of a viscoelastic material and an elastomer and the second material is metal.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the third material is one of an adhesive and an elastomer.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sheet further includes a fourth layer comprised of metal, and wherein one of the first and third layers is between the second and fourth layers.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the central portion is substantially parallel with the surface of the sheet when the leading surface punctures the sheet.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the angle is less than 168 degrees.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the leading surface defines a hole, and wherein the portion of the leading surface surrounding the hole is protuberant.
8. A method comprising:
providing a sheet having a first layer comprised of a first material, a second layer comprised of a second material, and a third layer comprised of a third material, wherein the second material is harder than the first material and the third material;
wherein the first layer is of a uniform first thickness, the second layer is of a uniform second thickness, and the third layer is of a uniform third thickness;
wherein the second layer is between the first layer and the third layer;
providing a first die component defining an aperture;
providing a second die component selectively movable between a first position in which the second die component is not within the aperture and a second position in which the second die component is at least partially within the aperture; said second die component including a leading surface that is generally concave;
placing the sheet between the first die component and the second die component when the second die component is in the first position; and
causing the second die component to move from the first position to the second position to apply pressure to the uniform first thickness of the first layer at a leading edge of the second die prior to puncturing through the uniform first thickness of the first layer, through the uniform second thickness of the second layer and through the uniform third thickness of the third layer such that a part is cut from the sheet.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the first material is one of an elastomer and a viscoelastic, and the second material is metal.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the third layer material is one of an adhesive and an elastomer.
11. The method of claim 8, wherein the sheet further includes a fourth layer comprised of metal, and wherein one of the first and third layers is between the second and fourth layers.
12. The method of claim 8, wherein the leading surface includes a central portion, a leading edge, and a peripheral portion interconnecting the central portion and the leading edge; and
wherein the central portion is substantially parallel with the surface of the sheet during said causing the second die component to move from the first position to the second position.
13. The method of claim 12, wherein the central portion and the peripheral portion define an angle therebetween that is less than 175 degrees.
