Hi Shree, You would want to write a script which can scrape the data from the website. This can be automated using Python, mechanize library (with support for doPostBack calls as in these webpages).
Once downloaded, PDFs can be combined using PDFtk library (one among different methods). Then, XPDF might be useful to retrieve text from the combined PDF. best, Bhanu On Tue, Aug 18, 2015 at 4:01 AM, Shree D N <shre...@oorvani.in> wrote: > This link has form 7 (list of candidates) for all contesting candidates > for BBMP polls 2015.
