Hello everyone! I'd like to ask for you guy's help. I need a little bit of data. I'm presenting the following ideas to my CEO on Monday and would like to prove there's interest in the community towards the following ideas : - React with :thumbsup: if you like the idea of a web API that lets you extract specific, structured data from any PDF, by providing the file and a script that controls extraction, and returns a JSON with all the data. This includes transactional (invoice/details) data. - React with 👌 if you like the idea of a web API that takes in an HTML page with some scripts and a JSON dataset, and returns a perfectly formed PDF file or other print formats (PostScript,pcl,etc). Output could include things like barcodes, charts, tables that break while repeating headers and footers, etc. - React with ⭐ for both, ask me if you need more details!
eslachance: I'm afraid the first one may already exist by someone in this very community!
Ahhh yes I see what that is. It's one of those "auto-extractions" things. And then you have to deal with data that has extra spaces, weird spacing, and imperfect capture. What I can offer as a product is better than this. You tell it where to extract using a simple script-based system that uses page positions and such. Imagine this, but in API form: https://learn.objectiflune.com/en-us/planetpress-connect/takeatour/takeatour/tatdatamapper
Also would be a per-use charge and not monthly base.
I appreciate you pointing this out however! It reinforces the points I'm trying to make to the business 😎
