PDF or Excel processing scriptSheldon ZHUANG
A Python script that does repetitive document work for you, tested on your own sample files.
Pick one (US$200)
- PDF to Markdown, text or Excel for one PDF layout, keeping headings, bold and italic, indents and simple tables. Scanned pages are flagged for OCR, not guessed.
- Excel or CSV reconciliation: two files compared by a key column, fuzzy matching for mistyped names, and an Excel report with differences highlighted.
- Cleaning and merging up to 5 spreadsheets with the same structure into one tidy table.
What you get: the script, a requirements file, a README, tests on your sample files, and the output for up to 5 sample files.
Done means: the script runs from the README on Python 3.11 or later and turns your sample files into output that matches the example you approved. Files with a different layout from the samples are not covered.
Revisions: 1 round of fixes against the approved example. Extra rounds: US$60 each. A new layout, a new rule or a new output format is a new request and is quoted first.
Timeline: 2 working days from the day the project is funded and the sample files arrive, whichever is later. Late inputs move the delivery date by the same number of days.
What we need: 2 to 5 sample files (redact anything sensitive) and an example of the output you want.
Not included: OCR of scanned pages, handwriting, password-protected files, more than one layout or rule set, a user interface, hosting or scheduling, and processing your full archive for you.
Payment: the full amount is funded in Contra escrow before work starts. Contra's platform and payment fees are paid by the client. You get screenshots of the output on your samples first; the script and output files are delivered after the payment is released.
