Convert Scanned PDF to Text file
2000 USDI am looking to convert old PDF documents from scans to text documents.
You can use OCR to extract and get part of the way, but the document needs to be cleaned up.
I have shown the job as hourly, but in reality it will be by pages, the more pages converted the better, if you are faster then you will make more per hour.
I have different tiers based on the quality of the PDF.
I am including 2 pages as examples of some of the worst cases you will encounter.
Please give examples of your work and your strategy to convert.

215 1 0 5 days2000 USDI am very interested in your project. As a developer who built a custom AI-powered data extraction tool (pdf2table.com), I have a significant technical advantage for this job.
While the public version of my SaaS specializes in exporting to Excel, the core engine runs on advanced LLMs (Large Language Models). This means extracting perfectly clean, plain text from your scans is completely native to my setup. I don't just rely on standard "dumb" OCR; my AI-driven pipeline actually understands the context of the text, allowing it to handle complex layouts and messy scans intelligently.
Because of this, I can process large volumes much faster than a standard data-entry freelancer, with significantly higher accuracy.
Here is my conversion strategy:
1. AI-Powered Extraction: I will run the scanned documents through the backend of my pdf2table engine. The AI will extract the text while intelligently preserving the logical reading order and foundational structure (paragraphs, lists).
2. Contextual Clean-up: Unlike standard OCR, the AI automatically resolves most common artifacts (e.g., fixing broken characters based on context, removing irrelevant page numbers/headers). I will supplement this with targeted scripts for any persistent issues unique to your documents.
3. Manual QA (Quality Assurance): The automated pipeline handles the heavy lifting, giving me the time to manually review and perfect the text, focusing entirely on those "worst-case" degraded pages you mentioned.
Examples of my work:
Since every scanned document is unique, the best proof of my quality is a live test. Please send me the 2 "worst-case" example pages you mentioned in the job description. I will run them through my AI system and manually refine them, sending you the clean text back immediately. This will demonstrate both my speed and the final quality you can expect.
… I am ready to handle high volumes and scale the process as needed. Let's discuss the tiers and get started on the test pages!
