Title: Urgent PDF task — extract & highlight specific pages from approximately court decisions (need within 4 hours) Budget: $25 and $10 tip if completed in 4 hours and 5 dollar tip if completed in 8 hours Timeline: Must be delivered within 4 hours of hire. Please message me before applying to confirm you can start right now. Description: I need specific pages pulled from approximately Canadian court decisions and one paragraph highlighted on each — not the full PDF documents. I only need to the pages that contain the the text that is in GREEN fonts only found in this document [login to view URL] and the example documents found at the bottom these instructions . Here is the Google Doc with about 20 pdf documents [login to view URL] For each case, please: Keep page 1 (the cover page/headnote) as-is. Find the paragraphs that are in GREEN font only (use Ctrl+F with the search phrase I give you — it'll jump straight to it). Keep only the page(s) containing that paragraph. Highlight that specific paragraph (yellow highlight or a bracket in the margin — either is fine). Delete every other page in each pdf This is an example of the work involved ; Khimji v. Dhanani Page 1 of your PDF = cover (case name, citation, court, date, full headnote). GREEN Text for reference: "A trial judge enjoys wide latitude in deciding whether to grant or refuse the adjournment of a scheduled civil trial... the trial judge should balance the interests of the plaintiff, the interests of the defendant and the interests of the administration of justice in the orderly processing of civil trials on their merits." Law Society of Upper Canada v. Igbinosun Page 1 = cover. This one is unanimous (Weiler J.A. "for the court") — no dissent issue. Para 37 GREEN Text for reference: "Factors which may support the denial of an adjournment may include a lack of compliance with prior court orders, previous adjournments that have been granted to the applicant, previous peremptory hearing dates, the desirability of having the matter decided and a finding that the applicant is seeking to manipulate the system by orchestrating delay." Syed v. Petrie — Page 1 = cover. GREEN TEXT Page 6 = paras 13–14 and the start of 15. Ctrl+F: "A party who seeks costs thrown away is seeking their costs" Page 7 = the rest of para 15 — the three numbered categories. Ctrl+F: "The following categories of cases in which a party seeks costs thrown away" Text for reference: "(ii) The second category is where the trial is adjourned because of the court's scheduling problems. No costs are awarded... (iii) The third category deals with adjournments sought by one of the parties as a result of no fault on their part. Costs thrown away are still awarded against the party applying for the adjournment, notwithstanding lack of fault." Paragraph 11 (page 5) is a general costs-fixing point, not central to your argument — skip it unless you have room to spare. Deliverable: about 20 separate small pdfs clearly ordered and print-ready). Skills needed: Comfortable with basic PDF tools (Acrobat, Preview, or similar) and searching CanLII; available to start immediately. Note for applicants: All 20 documents are public court decisions — nothing confidential here Include these documents also found in GOOGLE drive ( these 5 are not in GREEN text) INSTRUCTIONS — CASE 1 of 5: Khimji v.

Hi, I can start immediately and dedicate the next four hours to this task. I have experience with detail-focused document work, PDF handling, extracting specific pages, and organizing files accurately. I’m comfortable searching within PDFs, identifying the correct paragraphs, highlighting the required text, and keeping each file clearly named and print-ready. I’ll verify each paragraph carefully using the provided search phrase rather than relying only on the page number, and I can deliver the files individually in the requested order. I’m ready to begin as soon as you send the complete case list. Best, Noor

Chris here. I read your Khimji example, so I know exactly what you need: for each of the ~20 Canadian decisions, keep page 1, jump to your listed paragraph via the search phrase, keep only the page(s) holding it, drop everything else, and mark that paragraph in yellow or with a margin bracket. I'll build this with a Python pipeline (pymupdf) that searches each PDF for your exact phrase, locates the page, applies the highlight to the matched span, and writes a trimmed copy — then I verify each file by eye against your paragraph number before sending, since reporter page vs. PDF page can drift. One thing that decides the build: when a target paragraph spills across two pages, do you want both pages kept, or just the page where the paragraph number appears?

I can start immediately once the full US$25 milestone is funded and return the ~20 print-ready PDFs within 60 minutes. I’ll preserve each cover page, search and verify every supplied phrase, keep only the matching page or pages, apply a clear yellow highlight, name files consistently, and run a final count/readability check. Northstar Forge is an AI-assisted PDF and QA studio; every match and output will be manually checked. The optional tip is appreciated but is not part of this US$25 bid.
