eDoc PDF Data Extractor
-
Version
1.0
The purpose of eDoc Data Extractor is to extract text
from a searchable PDF in a batch process, and use this
text to rename the file and optionally create a CSV
file. The searchable PDFs can come from an application
or the output from scanning \ OCR programs.
Since most of the time it will be used to process
scanned files with OCR content and OCR is not perfect,
the program was designed to validate the captured data
with rules. It has also been designed to be flexible
in the area that it captures as scanned, OCR'd files
are not always formatted exactly the same. In other
words one will have a value on line one and the next
file may have the same value on line two.
Since the line will most likely always have a static
value such as "Invoice Number" it can be used to
locate the line to parse. If it does not have a static
value lines can be added to a line that does have a
static value. So it can be set to look for a line that
has "Invoice" add two lines and capture the first 30
