Hello. More 20 years programming experience.
I need more details to set real time and price - number of pdf-s is not actual, main problem is ocr and if/when we start cooperation, then we'll need more or less exact agreement how many percent w'll call successfull ocr. If it will be usual pdf-s, then I had used many times perl modules PDF::API2, PDF::Report, CAM::PDF, Spreadsheet::Read.
Regards.
