I want an application that can take non password protected .PDF files and convert them into a specific text file format, maybe with some intelligence and manual input for not 100% exact conversions where the logic doesnt work. This application should run on Windows, apart from this I would even better like this app to be an online variant as well so i could host it on my site. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Tuesday Dec 27, 2005 11:12:53 AM: Further information for you bidders. the test files are exam study files in PDF Format I need the text and images extracted and placed into a format for my application. most of the extraction should be fairly simple, i.e. it has things like QUESTION NO: 4 and i would need that changed to 4. instead i.e. removal of the "QUESTION NO:" piece and a full stop added after number etc. I would also need there to be some form of manual input to check any changes as they occur and a fully automatic mode There are pieces of the PDF doc that would need stripping out such as Page numbers etc as my application doesnt support them. The application i use is called Trandumper obtained from [login to view URL] which is a simple activeX browser based app that reads formatted text files in as exam simulations. The following is taken from the readme for Trandumper application:- How to format text file for TranDumper? For examples of how to use TranDumper, you can see the sample directory. You can read braindumps with little or no modifications to the dumps. See [login to view URL] for a plain dump file, or see [login to view URL] that explains the use of enhanced features. You should only have to make minor formatting changes to your dumps to be sure that TranDumper will read them properly. You simply need to save the dump web page as plain text (*.txt) and then check your dump file format as follow: Subject must begin with a number and a dot on a new line. EXAMPLES: 1. or 99. (Maximum number of questions: 400) A blank line is mandatory between the question text and the multiple-choice answers Select options must begin with English Alpha and a dot or a ")". EXAMPLES: a. a) A. (Maximum number of answers: 15) ANSWER MUST BE ON ONE LINE. The Answer format must be written as follows to be properly recognized. E XAMPLES: Ans:a,c Answer: b Ans : bc Answer: b,c and d If there is any comment or explanation for the answer, a blank line is mandatory between the "Answer:" line and the explanation. All the Selection options and answer are case-insensitive. That is, both Ans: and ANS: are legal syntax. I would prefer some means of doing this that is web based that could utilise php and Mysql preferably and the results could be a text file and associated images, which are stored in a table in a Mysql db ? ## Platform Windows XP Pro Online
