PDF documents represent the majority of business and online documents. They focus on a visual representation of a document and do not contain structural information, which complicates analysis by computer software. Companies were looking for an open-source solution for searching through the content inside tables and text, which was not available. A lot of needed functionality was already available and was used and improved to implement an all in one solution called PDFScraper, which contains an easy to use program, as well as a backend library. PDFScraper supports different formats of input, which are appropriately transformed and analysed to make searching possible.
