Transcribe PDF Reports to Word
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I have a collection of text-based reports currently locked in PDF format that I need transferred, word-for-word, into an editable template. This is a pure data-entry task—no customer support or email management involved—so your focus can stay on accuracy and formatting.
Here’s what I need from you:
• Open each PDF, capture every bit of text (headings, paragraphs, footnotes, tables) and place it into the Word template I’ll provide.
• Keep the original layout as closely as possible.
• Flag obvious source typos or unreadable sections in a brief comment log rather than changing them.
Workflow
I’ll share the PDFs via Google Drive along with a naming convention and sample file. Please tell me:
1. How many pages you can reliably process per day.
2. Whether you prefer manual typing, OCR tools like Adobe Acrobat or ABBYY FineReader, or a mix—either approach is fine as long as the end result is clean.
Deliverables
• A separate, fully editable Word document for every source PDF.
• A completion log listing file names, page counts, and any flagged issues.
Quality Check
Send the first five pages back within 24 hours so I can verify formatting and accuracy before you proceed with the remainder.
If meticulous data entry is your strength, let’s get started.
