You can a blog post about making it ? I am interested in making something similar.
aksx··on Show HN: an API to extract text from a PDF
I am writing something similar for a client. He needs data in tables extracted from the PDF. Which language are you using? I wrote two scripts, one using python and pdftotext and another using ruby pdf-reader, the ruby one gives each line of the PDF one by one which is good for extraction.
aksx··on US officials to Delhi court: Can’t summon Facebook, Google
I have lost all my trust in the Indian government. They have spent 400 Crore rupees on building a content monitoring system, which will monitor our online activities. 4 billion rupees could've helped many people who needed it.
aksx··on IRC is dead, long live IRC
I am 18 now and have been irc daily for the last two years (mostly open-source dev) i knew about it for a long time but back then was a windows user so couldnt find a good client+ didnt understand the commands. Now i have completely shifted to Linux and cant imagine open source development without irc.
aksx··on Show HN: I'm 14, I learned Objective-C, and this is my first iPhone game
when i was 11, i taught myself html,css and js and then moved on to batch scripting and later taught myself php and later c#. Now i am 18 and code (Mostly) in Vala, building apps for elementary OS.

i wish i worked on some games too. :-)

aksx··on Gnome: Staring into the abyss
I use Gtk on a daily basis while working to the elementary os. I just love their Vala language,it gives me the ease of c# and speed of C. But the thing is there is not much documentation present. The irc channel feels slow. I encountered a bug in Vte about a week ago about transparency and no one is able to help. This as a dev discourages me. I use Vala and Gtk solely because the elementary team uses it. Gnome becoming uncool has started a vicious circle which will lead to its death.
