PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structured document conversion device which converts documents at a high speed even if almost all the elements are to be converted, the elements of structured documents are repeated, or attributes are added to the elements of the structured documents. SOLUTION: Based on template information indicating correlation between all tags in a converted structured document and terminal tags in a document to be converted and searching table information for searching the name of a corresponding element of the converted structured document by using as a key the name of an element in the structured document to be converted, a reverse reference table information is generated, wherein all the tags in the converted structured document, the terminal tags in the structured document to be converted and the values of their elements are correlated to one another in tag arrangement order in the converted structured document. Then, based on the reverse reference table information, the value of a corresponding tag element of the structured document to be converted is applied in tag arrangement order in the converted structured document, and consequently the converted structured document which corresponds to the structured document to be converted is generated.
