Article organizer

Did you ever search for scientific paper downloaded before and you can't find it because it was downloaded as dsjkgqwtqoy843175.pdf?

This project analyzes all your pdf files and displays them as web page containing titles and authors.

Structure

1. All *.pdf files are found in srcdir
2. Those files are converted to html with great library - https://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX (because PDF is not good for parsing)
3. Most probable title is found in the file
4. The article is found at https://scholar.google.com based on the title and the result is saved to LMDB
5. Stored results are presented by flask web page

Disclaimer !!!

This project is in alpha version, see todo section.
