Data digitization using python

[Shiv Hastawala]

Hi data enthusiasts

I have a lot of publicly available data which are pdf scans of old publications. I wish to digitize them as a public service. I found that the following python package is pretty efficient at doing this job:

However, since I am python-illiterate, I was wondering if any of you python enthusiasts would be interested in writing the code for this project? Obviously, this is voluntary work. 

Please reply to me personally if you are interested. Thanks!

Thanks and regards.

Yours sincerely

Hi Shiv,

Do you mind sharing a couple of sample pdfs? Do they contain structured data like tables or some other type of data?
