PDF Text Extraction to Documents - 18/10/2025 11:47 EDT
Budget: $3,000 – $5,000 USD
I need the text from a large batch of PDF files exported into clean, separate documents. Only the raw text is required—no need to preserve fonts, layout, or other styling—so each .docx should read like a plain transcript that follows the original reading order without omissions.
Scope of work
• Run a reliable OCR or direct text‐parser on every PDF (some are image-based, others are selectable).
• Produce one .docx for each source file, using the same filename.
• Automate the workflow (Python, Tesseract, PyPDF2, ABBYY FineReader, or a tool of your choice) so I can repeat the process later; include a concise setup/usage guide.
• Perform spot-check QA and share an accuracy report to demonstrate that all text was captured.
My priority is accuracy and a repeatable solution that can handle hundreds of PDFs in one pass. Familiarity with batch processing, OCR tuning, and Word automation will be highly valued.
