Extract article data from a manually authored catalogue for transfer into an article database
The task: A customer wants to switch from manually published catalogues to a database driven publishing system. To speed up this process the data should be extracted as complete as possible from the existing catalogue(s).
It is not always possible to retrieve such data using the original authoring applications like QuarkXPress, InDesign or even Word. In such cases PDF can be a valuable transformational format.
Our Acrobat Plug-In MVPDFDataExtractor is designed to fulfill such data extraction jobs. It can be customized to the layout and specifics of a given catalogue.
The Plug-In analyses one or more PDF files, identifies the article or spare part numbers and combines them with text and / or hierarchical information.
The result is written into a structured file which then can be used for a database import.
