Custom python script for text or PDF text file processing

PBN.LTD builds a single, local Python script that reads one text file or one text-based PDF and reshapes it into the output you need, whether that is CSV, JSON or tidy plain text. The script arrives together with a concise README, and delivery follows within 2 days once your sample files and desired output format have reached us.

• One local Python (.py) script
• Short README with run instructions
• Handles a single text file or text-based PDF
• Test run performed on your supplied sample
• 1 revision included
• Scanned or image-based PDFs are outside scope and would need a separate quote (no OCR)

What this covers

We produce a compact, locally run Python script aimed at one text file or one text-based PDF, meaning a PDF whose text can already be highlighted and copied. Common uses include pulling out particular fields or lines, tidying and reformatting content, splitting or combining sections, tallying values, or exporting everything into CSV, spreadsheet-friendly CSV, JSON or a cleaned text document.

What you receive

• A single Python script that runs on your own machine under Python 3, whether Windows, macOS or Linux.
• A brief README describing how to install any free libraries required and how to execute the script against your file.
• A trial run using the sample file you send, so you can inspect the output before applying it to your real data.
• 1 revision, used to tweak the output format or correct anything that departs from the agreed brief.

Process

1. You share one or more sample files along with a clear outline or example of the output you expect.
2. We agree the scope and raise any questions before work begins.
3. The 2-day turnaround only begins once the sample file(s) and output format are confirmed.
4. We hand over the script, the README and a test output, and you can request your included revision if something needs adjusting.

Outside the scope of this order

• No OCR and no scanned or photographed PDFs; these would be quoted separately before anything starts.
• No server hosting, web applications, cloud deployment or scheduled online jobs; the script is meant for local use.
• No paid APIs or paid software sourced on our end.
• No WordPress-related work.
• Each order covers one input file type and one processing flow; larger or multi-stage work can be arranged as a separate custom offer.
