Hi,
I must convert a history file in PDF format that goes from May of 1988
to current date. Readings are taken twice weekly and consist of the
date taken mm/dd/yy and the results appearing as a 10 character
numeric + special characters sequence. This is obviously an easy setup
for a very small database application with the date as the key, the
result string as the data.
My problem is converting the PDF file into a text file which I can
then read and process. I do not see any free python libraries having
this capacity. I did see a PDFPILOT program for Windows but this
application is being developed on Linux and should also run on
Windows; so I do not want to incorporate a Windows only application.
How about pyPdf;
