Question

I'm adding a new function to my node express server that will allow me to upload a drivers ELD daily log and get from that image / pdf the time driven, start time, end time, lunch, etc..

I've looking into converting the pdf into a csv / json / html, but the issue there is that it's an unlabeled mess. So I am figuring that trying to somehow read and create a chart similar to the chart already on the eld log.

ie. Reading it would be segmented by say 15 minutes, or however many pixels.

IF line exists in segment call proceed and log data ELSE check segments "SB" "D" "ON" then recursively call

In the example shown above, this driver went on duty at 6:45am.

The files are provided in a pdf format, and I am having issues extracting the data and have it be useful / labeled.

UPDATE: Thinking about it a bit more, this solution might be pretty resource costly, especially if done on the server end, ie. chopping up the image / leaving it in a buffer and reading off it... Maybe it would be better to just try and make sense of the garbage parsing from pdf to something else...

UPDATE 2: I may try and use Tesseractocr depending on how it outputs data.

I think the term you're looking for is OCR (optical character recognition). That's the name of the technology for converting text on images into actual text to work with. Once you have that, decoding the text should be easy if it's in a standard format. There are plenty of OCR libraries for Node: https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=OCR No need to reinvent the wheel and try to build your own OCR system:)
