**_Please, this work should not be done manually. I am looking for a programmer._**
The main objective is to create a Data Set in one single Excel sheet from 533 PDF files. Each PDF file is a "Future Release Schedule" of Movies (from Jan1985 to Dec2010). Please follow these instructions:
1) Open "example": there you will find an example. **This is a handmade rough example that only contains some variables.**
2) Consider that the Data Set should have **_at least_** **the variables of the example. **
3) More importantly, **_I need your program to be flexible_.** **The reports change over time, thus I need you to be able to notice this changes and to collect all the data.
If interested, please, take a look at "advanced--additional information". Do not bid without reading that section carefully!**
Deadline: 20 days.
Good Luck!

## Deliverables
**This is a continuation form the brief description. Please, make sure to read this carefully!**
1) Consider that the Data Set **should have _at least_ the following variables**. I need all you can collect.
1. Date of the Report. (MM/DD/YYYY format).
2. Movie Title.
3. Release date. (Consider that more than one release date is possible). (MM/DD/YYYY).
4. Name of the Film Studio.
5. Place. Some movie titles also indicate where it is going to be released. (For example NY=New York, LA=Los Angeles, Nat'l = National, ltd, wide...).
6. Name of the file
7. Page where of the file in which the information was found.
8. Description of the left-handed column.
9. Details such as: animated, 3d, etc.
10. The information collected as footnotes (the "*" or similar symbols).
If interested:
2) Create your own sample following the instructions in 2 and 3 of the "brief summary". Open "sample". Create your own data set using some of the files. Then, send it to me. Please, notice that there is there you will find a good number of reports. I hope you can get a good idea of the evolution of these reports and the amount of work and effort you will need to accomplish this task.
5) If your work is well done, I will share with you a 4GB file containing the 533 files trough Dropbox ([login to view URL]). Please, send me your username in order to invite you and share the file.
I need this work to be done within 20 days.
Good Luck!
