Automated PDF to Excel Conversion and Email Integration

* Project Overview: We are seeking a skilled programmer or development team to create an automated system that extracts data from PDF files, populates an Excel template, saves the output in a specific format, and sends it as an email attachment. This system aims to streamline data processing tasks by automating the entire workflow. * Objectives: - Automate the extraction of data from PDF files. - Populate an Excel template with the extracted data. - Automatically download PDF attachments from the email inbox. - Save the filled-in Excel files in a designated folder with a specific naming convention. - Send the Excel files as email attachments to a predefined email address. * Components of the Project: The project can be divided into several key components: 1- Email Integration: Set up a system to receive emails, automatically download PDF attachments, and move them to a designated folder. Ensure that the system can connect to the email server securely and reliably. 2- Data Extraction: Create a Python script that can extract data from PDF files. This script should handle various PDF formats and structures. 3- Excel Template: Develop an Excel template with predefined placeholders for data extraction. Ensure that the script can fill in the template accurately. 4- File Naming and Saving: Define a naming convention for the saved Excel files, incorporating timestamps or unique identifiers. Save the files in a specific folder. 5- Email Sending: Implement email functionality to send the Excel files as attachments to a specific recipient email address. Ensure that the email is sent securely and reliably. 6- Automation Schedule: Set up a schedule for the entire automation process, allowing it to run at specific intervals or in response to trigger events. * Technology Stack: The proposed technology stack includes: - Python for scripting and automation. - Libraries such as PyPDF2 and openpyxl for PDF and Excel operations. - Cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS EC2, GCP Compute Engine) for hosting and running the automation system. * Deliverables: A fully functional automation system that meets the project objectives. Documentation outlining the setup, configuration, and usage of the system. Codebase and scripts for future maintenance and enhancements. * Timeline: The project is estimated to be completed within six months. * Budget: Please provide a detailed project proposal and cost estimate, including any recurring costs associated with cloud infrastructure and email services. * Alternative Approaches: We welcome creative solutions and innovative ideas. If you believe that there are alternative approaches or technologies that can better address the project objectives, please feel free to propose them as part of your proposal. Contact Information: If you are interested in this project, please submit your proposal with this word wjo included in the subject, including relevant experience and references to this post. Additional Information: We emphasize that the PDF files must be automatically downloaded from the email inbox. We will provide access to the necessary email accounts, PDF files, and Excel templates for testing and development purposes. The security and confidentiality of data are of utmost importance. Please ensure that the system is secure and compliant with data protection regulations. Sincerely, Note: the budget posted is just a number to fill the form - please ignore it K.
