Easy Populate is a great contribution for adding mass amount of products. Now have you ever heard of a program that extracts Word or PDF data that is in Tables and has images, model numbers and short descriptions.; all ready for to import using easy populate!!
Is there such a program???, CREATED for OsCommerce? Am I Dreaming? Then somebody pinch me!!! Does anyone Want to get TOGETHER to create such a program. I have started a beta version for this. The program will be able to extract data / convert into Excel, in a perfect Easy Populate Structure, For quick and error free uploading three catalog/admin. What it will do is you define, that all product numbers are 5 to 7 digits long. So it will extract what digits that are between 5 to 7 digits long.(on same line) and produce for excel. It will search for images of a certain Height and Width defined by user and creates url / put in folder with random names and also generate a URL. I will And more add-ons as development continue
This will be a gold mine. For store owners that have rare products that are online it printed / book / hard cover form. So after the user then scans the printed document into a PDF format.

The store owner installed Oscommerce and has Easy Populate / excel import or any contribution for easy adding of products. The store own now wants to extract this data, (easily, accurately retaining accurate tables, and extracted in excel or other format that is just for easy populate, and all ready to Upload.. In minutes / hours depending on how long the program takes to scan and extract a STORE can go from 0 products listed and uploaded to 5,000 product or even 10,000 and possibilities are endless if we create one together. I call anyone with spare time. Anyone who has the knowledge and education to help me create / develop such








Umm.. I could stand behind you and rub your back and shoulders while you rack your brain over the development of such a program. lol by the way, love your pic
A program that extracts text from an image?
My scanner came with something that does that. Of course, it’s proprietary, not open-source.
Good luck with that.
