Here is an opportunity to use PDFBox and projects that leverage it (such as Tabula <http://jazzido.github.io/tabula/> , PDF2SVG <https://bitbucket.org/petermr/pdf2svg-dev/overview> and PDF Extraction Toolkit <http://tamirhassan.com/pdfxtk.html> ) to hack for the public good and possibly win a cash prize. Developers will tackle a series of challenges involving the bulk extraction of PDF data from public records.
