I have a collection of text-based PDF files that contain a mixture of narrative text and numerical values—think product descriptions beside prices, dates next to reference codes, and short paragraphs that share space with tables of figures. Even though the PDFs are selectable, I need everything re-typed manually so the final dataset is clean, uniformly formatted, and error-free.
Here’s what the task involves:
• Open each PDF, read line by line, and transcribe every word, number, and symbol into the template I will supply.
• Preserve the exact wording, punctuation, and number formatting (decimal places, thousand separators, currency symbols, etc.).
• Double-check your own work before submitting so each entry matches the source perfectly.
Deliverables
1. Completed template file containing all text and numerical data from the PDFs.
2. A brief note confirming you carried out a final accuracy review.
Acceptance criteria
• 100 % of records present—no omissions.
• Text reproduced verbatim.
• Numerical values identical in value and format to the originals.
If you work most comfortably in Excel, Google Sheets, or Word, let me know; I’m flexible on the final file type as long as the structure remains consistent.
