Paid on delivery
I am looking for a skilled developer to create a software/script that can transform PDF documents with columns into text. The input PDF will be always a multi-column text file. Some of the pages of the provided PDF may have 2 columns, some 3 or 4 in the same file and it is totally random. PDFs samples attached. Table structures and images can be ignored. Programming Language: - The software/script can be written in any programming language, such as Python, Java, or C++. Operating System: - The software/script should be compatible with Linux (any distribution, preference for Debian/Ubuntu) Please provide examples of similar projects you have worked on and your proposed approach for this project. I am aware 100% of accuracy cannot be achieved, but a minimum of 90% of success is required. The script will be tested against PDF files very similar to those provided here.

-I understand you are looking for a skilled developer to create a software/script that can transform PDF documents with columns into text. The input PDF file will always be a multi-column text file. Some pages may have 2 columns on them while others may have 3 or 4 columns in the same file. This is totally random and not related to the table structures or images in the PDF. My approach will be to use machine learning to recognize the patterns in the input PDF files so that the script can accurately convert them into text. I have been working as a fulltime freelancer for 14+ years and have extensive experience in AI/ML, Blockchain and web development. My portfolio includes successful projects such as Amazon AWS (EC2/Lambda/Serverless apps), Facebook React/Django/Vue/Next, Odoo and Nuxt which demonstrate my proficiency in these areas. My commitment to this project is 100% accuracy cannot be achieved but at least 90% success is required. I would be more than happy to provide you with examples of similar projects I have worked on as well as an outline of my proposed approach for this project so you can make an informed decision about selecting me for this job

Project Title: PDF Column-to-Text Transformation Wizard Project Skills: C Programming, Python, Linux, Shell Script, C++ Programming Project Description: Greetings, esteemed client! I am thrilled to present my bid for your unique project, which requires the creation of a software/script capable of transforming PDF documents with varying numbers of columns into plain text. Rest assured, I fully comprehend the challenge at hand and possess the necessary skills to deliver a solution that meets your requirements. Having reviewed the attached PDF samples, I understand that the input files may consist of 2, 3, or even 4 columns, all in a random order. My proposed approach involves leveraging the power of programming languages such as Python, C++, or Java to develop a versatile script that can accurately extract the text while disregarding table structures and images. To ensure compatibility, the software/script will be meticulously crafted to run seamlessly on any Linux distribution, with a preference for Debian/Ubuntu. I am well-versed in Linux systems and confident in my ability to deliver a robust solution. While I acknowledge that achieving 100% accuracy may be elusive, I am committed to attaining a minimum success rate of 90%. Thorough testing will be conducted on PDF files closely resembling those provided, ensuring the script's reliability and efficiency. In conclusion, I invite you to connect with me in the chat to discuss pricing and timeline details further. Together, we can embark on this quirky adventure of transforming PDF columns into delightful text, bringing humor and professionalism to your project.
