I have 850 .zip files that contain .PDF files (eBooks). I need you to copy a paragraph from each .PDF file and insert it into an Excel file in the column next to the zip file's name. I will give you an Excel file that contains all the names of the .zip files already. Most, maybe all, of the .PDF files allow you to simply copy and paste the text from the .PDF file into the Excel file. Requirements ===================== The paragraph I want copied from each .PDF file must be a paragraph that describes what the main topic of that .PDF file is. I am going to use these as descriptions for these products in my store. The paragraph I am looking for is usually the first paragraph of the actual content of the .PDF file. I do NOT want a paragraph from the "Legal Notice" section. I do NOT want a paragraph from the "Table of Contents" section. I do NOT want a paragraph from the "Terms and Conditions" section. The title of the ebook does NOT count as a paragraph. Any extra formatting must be removed. For example: After you paste the text into the Excel file there may be extra spaces or only 1 word per line. You must fix this so it is a properly formatted paragraph. This paragraph that you are reading right now is a properly formatted paragraph. It is possible that some of the .zip files do not contain any ebooks or the .PDF file is not an eBook. For example: it could be just a "Read Me" .PDF file or an "MMR license" .PDF file. If you find any .zip file like this please just skip them and move on to the next .zip file. Do NOT paste anything into the Excel file for these types of .zip files. When you are finished please return the Excel file to me. I have uploaded 1 test .PDF and Excel file. After you place a bid I will send you a private message if I am interested in your bid. Please follow the instructions above on the test file and reply to my private message with the test Excel file. I need to know that you are able to follow the instruction correctly for me to accept your bid. Please do not bid more then $50 for this project as that is all I can afford to put toward this project.

Hi, I'll start with a brief introduction of myself. I live in the Philippines, and I am currently a college (undergraduate) student. I study at the University of the Philippines Diliman, which is the top university here. I'm willing to work for small amount of cash as a start. Be it in small amounts, I'll still make sure that I'll give you quality work. The reason I will accept even small amounts is that enrollment for summer is near, and I am in need of money. I'm the only one funding my tuition, so I really need it. Even small amounts is a great help for me. I'm very good at computers, I must say. 850 is sure many, but with hard work, I'll finish it for you within 24 hours. Everyday, I handle, excel, word, and other programs related to this, so it is not a problem for me. I'm pretty good at English too. Giving you the description you want is assured. No paragraph from the Legal Notice section, nor form the Table of Contents section, nor form the Terms and Conditions section, or even the title. I will also make sure that the formatting is very good. Please, give me the chance. I will work at my best. Thank you for your kind consideration Regards, Patrick

Hello, I am writing in response to your ad regarding copying paragraphs from PDF files into an excel spreadsheet. I have worked for a website design firm for over ten years and in that time I have garnered plenty of experience in copying information into excel spreadsheets and databases. I am a quick and efficient worker and because I am an editor, I pride myself on completing my work mistake-free. When I am performing projects like yours, my process is to have two monitors side by side so I can constantly compare the two as I type to ensure that no errors are made. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time, Devin Hale
