Not sure if im posting this in the right place, but this is the only forum I have an account with so thought i'd try here first.

I don't know if this already exists as I can't seem to find anything that has exactly what im looking for.

My company prints thousands of service requests from clients a month in the same format. Im looking for a program to:

1. Extract 3-5 fields of data from each page in a PDF file
2. Put each field onto a separate cell in Excel across X columns
3. Be able to do it from multiple pages in one PDF file and not require each page to be a separate PDF file

I basically want to be able to scan like 100 pages to one file, have the program extract 4 pieces of data from each page and place them in columns separated by each page.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Is this a pre-existing excel file or can it be a CSV?
Is the PDF encoded? If you can edit it in notepad and see plaintext values for the data you want to extract then you don't need a specialized library to read the PDF.
