Document Conversion

A team working in a regulated medical environment needed to evaluate client specification documents — but doing so required each sentence to be on its own row in a spreadsheet, with standardized evaluation columns alongside it. The documents were long, the format was strict, and copying content manually from PDFs into that structure would take days per document.

A Python script handles the parsing and reformatting automatically — reading the PDF, splitting content into sentences, and writing each to its own row with the correct column structure. To make it usable by people who weren't going to run Python scripts, I hosted the tool on my own machine and built a simple Django front-end so anyone on the team could upload a file and download the converted output.
