Hi Freelancers !
I am looking for a PHP/java PDF text extraction utility, Don't Freak out the PDF files will all be the same structure and are digital format to begin with (you can copy and paste the text) the only change between files is the number of line items and sometimes the number of pages. What I have are invoices always from the same supplier and the same format that contain invoice items ie product code, description, price. What I am looking for is a way to automatically extract the values for each line item and insert them to a mysql database. I will be taking care of the insertion to the database and all of that junk.
So what is required
A web interface to select and upload the pdf invoice
once uploaded the script will process and display the results on a table - each line item will take a row have the same columns as the pdf.
a progress bar would be a great bonus
The arrays used MUST be well commented so I can easily put together the query to insert the data to the database.
Hello.
You're right about telling people not to freak out, because in PDFs you can have "n'importe quoi".
Your document is well structured enough to be parsed by a simple stable parser. Provided its structure is also stable.
Let's give it a try.
I can start working on this today and you'll have a temporary table by tomorrow with those invoices data.
best regards
Francisco

Hello,
I am a developer with expertise in PHP and C#. I understand your need to parse and display a PDF invoice (of same format) to the wep page while showing its progress. I will be available to undertake the task.
hi,
i am a student who is good at coding in python and i have done many projects like this.
This can actually be done by using php to create a interface and main processing can be done using python pdfminer library and i have experience in this.
The site can be hosted on local server and an be accessed from local devices and if given he task to me i will finish it with perfection
