Hi there, As properties for the PDF document are embedded, in order to read the properties requested, the application has to open file for reading. This means that the file should not be locked for reading. If this is ok, I think that I would be able to create an application to process more than 10 files per second. If you want, I can prepare a demo for you. Wishing you the best, Ionut Rosca

Hello, I can work this out. I have more than 13 years experience in software development, and I have worked in several developments both for windows and for web. The only thing I cannot assert is the response time, because it will depend on the speed of your machine. If you agree with that I can do what you are asking for the bid that I ve send. If you are OK with my bid please escrow the project and award it to me. Regards, Diego

I am a professional software engineer just looking to make some extra money on the side. I would do this project in Java, a language I've been using for over 8 years. My day job typically involves dealing with large amounts of data. I've done very similar activities to this, producing CSV files from some data set, so this project would be very easy for me to complete. One question I have: is your target platform (Windows Server) headless? i.e. do you want this program to have a GUI or console interface? The answer to this question does not change my bid, I just wanted to clarify.

I have experience with metadata extraction using open source software for Windows and Linux using Java and .Net, mostly extraction for search engines. I'm highly confident that the project is viable within the 3 to 5 days and it will comply with the highest architecture and development standards.
