Styled PDF OCR Extractor
Budget: ₹1,250 – ₹2,500 INR
I need a small, dependable utility that can read scanned (image-based) PDF files and output their text while keeping the original look as closely as possible. The tool must recognise each character through OCR, then return the results in a formatted form—HTML, RTF, or any equivalent you propose—as long as it preserves font family and size information and flags bold or italic segments accurately.
Key expectations
• Works on typical multi-page PDFs without manual intervention
• Maintains correct reading order and paragraph breaks
• Shows the same fonts (or close web-safe substitutes) and reflects bold / italics exactly where they appear in the source
Deliverables
1. Source code and brief instructions to run it on Windows or cross-platform (Python, Java, or a language you’re comfortable with)
2. A sample run using one of my PDFs that demonstrates the preserved styling
3. Short read-me explaining any open-source libraries used (e.g. Tesseract, pdfminer, PyMuPDF) and how to train or tweak them for better accuracy
I will supply representative PDFs once we start. If you have prior OCR or PDF-processing experience, let me know so we can move quickly.
