# A sample script that attempts to extract bates numbers from a PDF file.
# Bates numbers are often used to markup documents being used in legal
# cases. For more info, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bates_numbering
#
# Acrobat 9 introduced a markup syntax that directly specifies the bates
# number for each page. For earlier versions, the easiest way to find
# the number is to look for words that match a pattern.
#
# This example attempts to extract numbers using the Acrobat 9 syntax.
# As a fall back, you can use a regular expression to look for words
# that match the numbers you expect in the page content.
