[okfn-labs] scrapping PDF files

Thu Dec 5 21:30:27 UTC 2013

If you're just looking to get a text dump of the PDF. I've had good results
with uploading the document to google drive, and then downloading the .txt
version.  Google Drive will also OCR embedded images in documents and some
other nifty stuff.  It's not great, but it's usually good enough to use as
a search index of PDFs.

http://github.com/finalsclub/karmaworld contains the google drive code deep
in it's depths.  I'd be happy to walk you through the hairy parts if you
are interested.
