[okfn-labs] scrapping PDF files

[Michael Bauer]

Hi,

I've done scraping with scraperwikis pdftoxml. Works quite well for what it
is (a workaround converting PDF to another format, that's easier to parse).

What I generally do is convert it to xml, then figure out where the text is
I need and write XPath expressions for that.

Happy to give more detailed instructions if needed.

Michael
