Need to match topic with the View project tracker document titled "GitHub Migration Project Overview" that associated with the narrative below Project "conversion

of multiple PDF files into a specialized file format called COB $"$

The task requires creating a Python script that automates the conversion

of multiple PDF files into a specialized file format called COB. This

conversion is often relevant in scientific fields like chemistry or

bioinformatics, where molecular structure data needs to be processed and

analyzed. By converting PDFs to COB format, researchers can efficiently

work with molecular data extracted from documents or publications.

The script aims to streamline this conversion process by leveraging

Python libraries such as PyPDF$2$ and Open Babel. PyPDF$2$ enables the

extraction of text from PDF files, while Open Babel facilitates the

conversion of this extracted text into COB format.

In essence, the script transforms PDF documents, potentially containing

textual representations of molecular structures, into COB files, which

provide a standardized format for storing such data. This automation

enhances productivity and reduces manual effort, particularly when

dealing with large volumes of PDFs$.$

By providing an efficient solution for batch processing, the script

allows users to convert multiple PDF files simultaneously. This

capability ensures scalability and flexibility, enabling researchers and

professionals to handle diverse datasets effectively.

The task at hand is to develop a Python script capable of converting multiple PDF files into a specific file format known as COB. COB files typically contain molecular structure information, making this conversion particularly relevant in fields such as chemistry or bioinformatics. The solution involves extracting text from each PDF file, converting it into the COB format, and saving the resulting files. To achieve this, the script utilizes libraries such as PyPDF$2$ for PDF text extraction and Open Babel for text$-$to$-$COB conversion. The final script enables batch processing, allowing for efficient conversion of multiple PDF files into COB format with minimal manual intervention.

Plan

This code assumes that the text extracted from the PDF can be converted directly to COB format. If the user PDFs contain complex structures like chemical diagrams, the usre might need more sophisticated methods for conversion.

Explanation:

Import Libraries:

os: For file system operations.

PyPDF$2$: For extracting text from PDF files.

openbabel: For converting text to COB format.

Define Functions:

pdf$\_$to$\_$text$($pdf$\_$file$)$: Extracts text from a PDF file.

text$\_$to$\_$cob$($text$,$ cob$\_$file$)$: Converts text to COB format and writes it to a file.

batch$\_$convert$\_$pdf$\_$to$\_$cob$($pdf$\_$folder, cob$\_$folder$)$: Converts multiple PDF files to COB format.

Batch Conversion Process:

Specify input and output folders.

Call batch$\_$convert$\_$pdf$\_$to$\_$cob with these folders.

Replace Input and Output Paths:

Replace 'input$\_$pdf$\_$folder' and 'output$\_$cob$\_$folder' with actual folder paths.

Conversion Limitations:

Assumes PDF content can be directly converted to COB format. More complex content may require advanced methods.

Problem Statement

The web team does not currently use version control for its code, which makes things like code reviews

difficult, creates an environment where there is a risk of conflicting changes, and makes it hard to

standardize the process of testing and releasing new code.

Plan

Define Repository Structure

The web team's code base is large and tightly integrated with the CommonSpot CMS$.$ It needs to be

broken up into repositories based on current and future usage.

Define Initial Branching and Integration Strategy

Outline the flow of changes going to and from developers to DEV, STAGE, and PROD.

and

Move Existing Code to GitHub

Based on the repository structure defined above, move the code into GitHub. We$$ll start from the production web server to make sure we start with an accurate representation of where we are at$,$ and going forward all changes will use GitHub.

Implement Integration Strategy

Set up$,$ test, train, and enforce the integration and branching strategy defined above.
