PDF Scan Script

PDF Scan Script was created with a simple goal: automate an already existing part of our workflow at Khatami Law. Working for an attorney may not seem like the best place to hone my technical skills, but I noticed a way I could make that a reality. The script works by processing the thousands of PDFs attorneys get per day and looking for things such as the client’s name, date, title of the document, signed or stamped, and much more.

I learned Python in the process, taking advantage of the powerful OpenCV library to enhance accuracy using Computer Vision. I also implemented several smart features, such as a queue for the files and accounting for upper and lowercasing. Although this project is not quite ready for industry use, I hope to refine it even more to save time for attorneys across the country.
