Extracting data from PDF files into CSV file
Hi,

I have several hundreds of PDFfiles number 01.pdf, 02.pdf, 03.pdf, etc in one folder. These are vey long documentd with a lot of information (text, tables, figures, etc). I need to extract the information asociated with one disease in particular (Varicella). The information I need to retrieve is the number of cases in each and every state and save it into a CSV file (please see attached examples). In the output file, the first column should have the data from file 01, the second one the data from file 02, so on and so forth. Thus, I will end up having a file that will look something like this:
Quote:
Georgia 1283 583
South Carolina 9454 54
Alabama 1049 1089
Florida 5409 7409
California 10475 8475
I only need the information in tha particular page. The following page presents a different table listing the states in the same order but related to other diseases.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
