Project Description:
I need a javascript application which puts together the following:
1 - client side conversion of a PDF (file or URL) to txt in javascript (example of pdf 2 txt in js https://github.com/hubgit/hubgit.github.com/tree/master/2011/11/pdftotext )
2 - show converted txt
3 - allow annotation of converted text (ofkn annotator: https://github.com/okfn/annotator/wiki)
4 - send txt to server with PDF and annotation data (just make the request, server part is not included in this project)
* user interface
PDF input: - text box to paste url & load pdf button for local files
Conversion: conversion button to check content is pdf, convert to txt and use a text area to display results
Annotation: on the text area activate annotations. I would need the possibility to enter free text or select a predefined format
Send to Server: button to save to server (sending the pdf raw data, converted txt and annotation to server)
- need to be working with various brownsers: ie, firefox, chrome. any compatibility issues (ie6...) should be raised to me so that we discuss if we can move forward
- front end application stack: backbone.js + require.js + jquery
