These documents are mixed in that some pages may be structured (e.g. forms) while others may be unstructured free form text (e.g. letters, reports, etc). I was wondering if there were any projects that provided such capabilities. I am familiar with PdfTextExtractor and it would probably be a starting point if I was to build this functionality out.
