I saw this posting and thought it was appropriate for this list -- I think this could be done in AppleScript (maybe with a helper app?).  If so, I thought I"d pass it along to all of you (I'm not in a position to research or bid on this job)…

Subject: [mac-dev-jobs] Need Mac Programmer for Text extraction app

I am a researcher with little knowledge of programming and need help.

Here is what I am looking for; don't know if it's possible.

In simple terms I am in need of a custom program that would extract text from multiple PDF documents and paste it (reformatted) into an Apple Pages document.

In my research, I collect online articles and documents and use the "Save As" command to save these articles as PDFs into a folder. I then use a program called "Skim" to highlight sections of the documents and manually cut and paste my highlights into a Pages document for further editing.

Ideally, I would like to be able to extract the text from multiple documents and have them pasted into Pages in different sections.

Don't know if this is feasible or what the cost would be. Would like to know if this is a possibility.

--Steve
