I need help making OSX software that takes pdf, word, or other document type as an input and outputs a text file. I will then be running simple regular expressions in Python on that text file to create new output, but I will create those. I just need help creating the software framework for me to put those codes into. Basically, I envision a simple screen that you can upload / drag a file into and then click "run" in order to output the text of that file in a new document. Pretty simple software, but I would need the ability to create some Python code inside of it to pull specific fields. Having the ability to run different python codes is the goal. Ex: save python code to pull both the name and the date section of an uploaded document (or multiple documents) and print that to a csv all at once. But also have the ability to run a different python code that finds the value I'm looking for (often revenue) and puts that into a text file. This is for personal use as of right now, but I hope to create software for small financial businesses to aggregate data quickly and easily from their old text documents. I don't imagine this is too difficult because I just need the framework created. Also willing to possibly pay more for a nice, user friendly product as I am no software developer.

Hello, from the description of the project it doesn't seem to be a complex software, but it has to be engineered well, because of the extensibility You desire. I can implement the basic program in Python itself using the Qt5 framework, a choice which will allow to quickly prototype the application and make it also cross-platform at no cost (aiming to make it also distributable on platforms other than OSX, like Linux and Windows). If I got it correctly, You have some knowledge of Python, this will even allow you to modify and extend the app on your own in future. I have spent some time brainstorming a bit the idea, and this is how it looks like: 1. A simple UI (list-like) which allows the user to create expressions and give them a name. 2. The UI allows also to change the order of the expressions by drag-n-drop. 3. A facility for file upload, to start simple, TXT files, other formats can be added later with 3rd-party libraries (I have experience with word/pdf documents reading). 4. A "Run" button, which executes in order all expressions in the list and under each one lists the matched results. 5. An "Export" button, which picks up all the results for each expression, flats them one per column and exports the whole set as a CSV file. Optionally, each expression widget could have a checkbox, in order to allow only partial exports. 6. Saving and loading of the expression collections. 7. (depends on time remaining) Ability to process multiple documents at once.
