Extract PDF Data to Spreadsheet
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I have a collection of PDFs that all follow the same layout, and I need the key details from each file captured accurately in an Excel spreadsheet. Your role will be pure data collection—no cleaning or interpretation is required beyond matching each field exactly as it appears in the document.
You will open each PDF, locate the predefined fields I’ll share (names, dates, reference numbers, and two numeric values), and enter them into the corresponding columns of the spreadsheet template I provide. Consistency and attention to detail matter more than speed, as the information must line up perfectly for later analysis.
Deliverables
• Completed Excel file populated with every required field from all PDFs
• A brief note flagging any pages that were unreadable or had missing data
Let me know your estimated turnaround time for roughly 200 pages, and feel free to mention any PDF-extraction tools (e.g., Adobe Acrobat, Tabula, or Python scripts) you prefer to use. I’ll supply the files and template as soon as we agree on the timeline.
