FAQ
Can you process hundreds or thousands of PDF files?
Yes! I can develop Python automation workflows to process large collections of PDFs. My packages cover up to 100, 500, or 2,000 files, depending on the selected package. Larger collections may require a custom quote.
What information can you extract from PDF files?
I can extract available metadata such as document titles, authors, creation dates, modification dates, page counts, file sizes, and PDF versions. Extraction depends on the information embedded in each document.
Can you extract text from scanned PDFs?
Yes, OCR-based extraction can be discussed as a custom service. Standard packages focus on embedded PDF metadata and do not include OCR or handwritten text recognition.
In which formats will I receive the extracted data?
CSV is included in all packages. Excel (.xlsx) or JSON output can also be provided when agreed upon before ordering. Reusable Python scripts are included in the Standard and Premium packages.
Do you need access to my computer or server?
No remote access is normally required. I can develop and test the solution using representative sample files. You can then run the delivered script on your own Windows or Linux computer.
How do you handle confidential documents?
I recommend sharing anonymized or non-sensitive sample files whenever possible. I use project files only for the agreed work and do not share them with third parties. Please discuss any special confidentiality or data-handling requirements before ordering.
Can you create a custom PDF processing workflow?
Yes! I can develop workflows for metadata extraction, batch renaming, duplicate detection, file validation, and structured reporting. Please contact me with your requirements so I can assess the scope and provide a suitable quote.
