## Deliverables

I need data from a set of PDF files, to be converted into csv format so that I can import it into a MySQL database. The PDF files (50+ of them) can be found linked to from this page: [url removed, login to view] The data is a list of several thousand farmer's markets. The PDF files include a number of fields for each listing, including: the city, the name of the market, the address, the phone number, the website, the name of the contact person, the time of year, the day(s) of week, and the time of day. (Note that not every field is necessarily present for each listing, but that the final csv file MUST account for such empty fields so that I can easily import it to my database.) 1) I need all this data accurately parsed into single large CSV format file suitable for importing into a MySQL database table. The fields should be parsed into these comma-separated values: - country - state - city - name of market - location description (optional) - street address - city - state - zip - phone number - name of contact person - website URL - time of year market is open (as a string) - day of week and time of day the market is open (as a string) The csv file must be accurate and complete, containing all fields for all listings from the abovementioned PDF files. The CSV formatting must also be correct, again accounting for empty fields in some of the listings. 2) In addition to the final CSV data file, I will need the script you create to do this parsing, so that I can run complete updates in the future as the underlying data changes. I need the complete source code of this script, and it must be ready-to-run. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).

## Platform

The csv file is just data and is platform-agnostic. The script may be Perl or other scripting language and can run on either Linux or Windows.
