Topic: RE: pdf scraping
Conf: (P-PDF) PDF Accessibility, Msg: 137119
From: inneedofhelp

Well I am working mostly with data tables (i.e. stock prices from such time to such time) and data lists, which I need to put into Excel spreadsheets and save them to a database where they can be reacessed and updated from time to time. if worst comes to worst I can write a program that downloads and converts pdfs to texts while scraping regular html files but this would be running 3-6 programs simultaneously (I would have to also convert the texts to xls' and also acess and save to the database), so obviously it would be much easier if I could find a scraper which works on pdfs as well as htmls.
