Data extraction from PDF drawings

Project description

The mechanical engineering company had to process a large number of technical drawings from their clients supplied in PDF format. The entire process required manual reading of data and entering information into the company's Excel database. It was also necessary to remove the drawing logo so that the drawings could be used in collaboration with other companies. This was time-consuming task, so the company was looking for a way to automate the whole process.
