HTML Scraping

[Brian @ Elsewares]

John ~ First of all, this email is a Google-back account, so it should be OK for adding to Drive.

Second, I've created HTML scraping and automating tools for clients of mine, and I'd be happy to build one for you for the Equipment Guide, or any other projects you may have.  I'm working on a more generic version of the code to deploy as a web service, and this would be a good test.

Let me know!

Hey Brian!

Right now we have a web-based Ruby on Rails app that I use to extract text from and add links to PDF files. However, it's not perfect, often due to the quality or formatting of the PDF source document. I'm constantly looking to add features or improvements to that app to make our processes faster or easier. Do you have any experience in that area or suggestions on alternative solutions? The app uses a combination of perl, ruby, rails, and a few different open source pdf manipulation apps (pdfbox and pdftohtml) to operate.

I can grant you access to the server where the app runs and then you just
poke it a bit to see if its something you'd be willing to mess with at all.
I have a couple of user interface tweaks I'd like to do to it as well as
some minor actual feature changes/additions if you decide you might like to
give it a whirl?

I don't think I can offer much on top of that - I imagine it's the Perl
that does the grunt work?  I work with Rails and Ruby, however, so if
there's something that you want to do there, I think I could be of help.
