This bid is for both .doc and .pdf conversion. The chosen coder will have to provide both. I want command line tool(s) or (java and or other language) source code( i prefer you make an command line application out of it) wich are able to convert .pdf and .doc to txt keeping the document format(layout) 100%. So i don't want text to be justified left if it isn't in original document. For example table like text must appear like in the original document that is each "cell" text on each column must appear one under row under another and columns must be separated. (text from column 1 musnt'be under column 2). I don't want bugs. (for example text modified/lost). You can program in any language (i want the source code too but if you don't have it it's fine). What i want is the .exe or java binaries. I prefer not to have to install it. So i copy it and works. The program is fine to use Acrobat Reader or MS word but must not use Acrobat or other commercial software. I prefer it uses nothing (i will choose a bid like this). Must support .pdf opened by Acrobat Reader 6.0 and .doc opened by MS Word 97,2000,XP. If some older versions are not supported still contact me. I would like the app not to show any gui and to have some command line options. Ideally i would like some options to adjust spacing,.. But this isn't a problem the issue is the convertion. Please do not bid unless your apps extract full text in original layout(format) preserved 100%. Maybe I could wait a little longer than 7 days for the work. If you can do it in longer time still contact me. IMPORTANT I WILL NOT ACCEPT work unless it converts the document(pdf or doc) to txt preserving 100% the original layout(format) and extracts all text. It has to work perfect on all the files with wich is tested. If you know free software or even some cheap software that does this I am open to test it. I tested some but they don't do the work on some documents. Please BID! Paul Rusu ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.I don't necessarily need the source code but i would in order to modify it 2) I prefer no install package or automated one 3) 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). If code you use it's licence says you can use it for commercial purpose and modify it then its acceptable. ## Platform all windows versions for java -jre1.4.2
