Thanks all for the input on PDF manipulation. I am a reservist. Those PDF files are old unclassified documents. Most of contents of files are in good format. For example: Brigade Order: 1-2-3-4-5 10 June 2000 The following individuals are ordered to play Hide and Seek(HAS). Bla bla bla.... MAJ Tom XXX-XX-1234 SPC Jerry XXX-XX-4567 .......... End What I need to do is to put right file in each individual's folder with right file name format. For example: ~/Tom_1234/10062000_1-2-3-4-5_HAS.pdf ~/Jerry_4567/10062000_1-2-3-4-5_HAS.pdf You can see that it will be a much easier job for the scripts if the original content formatting after pdf-plaintext conversion remains unchanged. I decide to do it in a not efficient but effective way. I will manually check every output of pdf-plaintext conversion, correct any change in formatting, and then feed the plain text file to the Perl scripts. Again, Thanks a lot for your help!
