Iraq contractor incidents 2005-2007, original PDFs and splitting scripts
These are the files used to produce iraq-contractor-incidents source file for analysis in the Overview prototype. The original PDFs are on DocumentCloud, stored here for convenience. The resulting .csv is available as part of the Overview sample files.
The most interesting thing here is the repaginate.rb script, which does fuzzy coverpage detection (and can also take a list of manual coverpages where a PDF should be split, as in the january-june-2005-manual-coverpages file). The scripts in this project also demonstrate how to extract text from (pre-OCR'd) PDFs using DocSplit.
To recreate the final csv, run:
./extract-text-all.sh
./repaginate-all.sh
