I want to auto generate a word document from a pdf file. First, the OCR must identify the document. Then depending on the document, I want to be able to select character "zones" where the text will differ per document. Again I want this process automated.

I want to auto generate a word document from a pdf file. First, the OCR must identify the document. Then depending on the document, I want to be able to select character "zones" where the text will differ per document. Again I want this process automated.

We have many forms in our files. From these forms, we generate a list of documents that fully represents what is in the file. In order to create an accurate documentation list from a specific file, I must manually go page by page, extracting specific information (that is in the same spot) and generate the documentation list manually. I want to automate this process.

From what you write it may be that your specific needs would be better served by a server grade product. For researching these remember
