I’m looking to automate the pull of raw text from a batch of PDF documents and have that content land neatly in a single CSV file. The flow I have in mind is simple: drop PDFs in a folder, run the script or app, receive a CSV with the extracted text organised in the agreed-upon columns. Python is my first choice, and libraries such as [login to view URL], PyPDF2, or even a Tesseract OCR fallback for scanned pages would fit perfectly; however, I’m open to any language that runs on Windows 10 without paid licences. Clean, well-commented source code and a quick usage guide are essential. Acceptance criteria • Handles an entire folder of PDFs in one execution • Captures all textual content accurately; OCR kicks in when the file is image-based • Produces a UTF-8 CSV with consistent column headers and no formatting artefacts • Requires no manual tweaks once paths and output name are set • Final delivery includes runnable code, dependency list, and a short demo (CLI log or screen recording) If you’ve built something similar or have a strong strategy for bullet-proof extraction, I’d love to see a brief outline of your approach along with a sample output.

I’ve built Python pipelines that batch-extract text from PDFs using pdfminer/PyPDF2 with OCR fallback (Tesseract), producing clean UTF-8 CSVs in one run. I’ll deliver well-commented, Windows-ready code with a simple CLI guide and demo.

Hi, I’ve worked on projects like this before, so what you’re describing makes sense to me. And I'm really interested in this project - PDF Text Extraction to CSV. I usually focus on getting things done cleanly and making sure they work properly in real use, not just on paper. I’m comfortable either improving an existing setup or helping build something new, depending on what stage you’re at. I keep communication straightforward, share progress along the way, and flag issues early so there are no surprises later. If you want, you can share a bit more about the current setup or the goal you’re trying to reach, and I can let you know how I’d approach it. Thanks, Jesse
