I’m sitting on a few hundred PDF invoices and need an automated way to spot any that were issued twice. Because our numbering scheme uses custom prefixes and special characters, I’d like the detection to rely solely on customer-specific data: the vehicle card number, the number of litres dispensed, and the exact date-time of tanking. Here’s what I’m after: an AI-powered script or lightweight app that scans every PDF, extracts those three fields with high accuracy, and then flags, groups, and reports any duplicates it finds. A clear CSV or Excel file listing each suspected duplicate (together with a confidence score and page reference) will be enough for me to review and act on. Acceptance criteria • All PDFs processed automatically—no manual renaming or sorting • ≥95 % accuracy on the three target fields • Duplicates grouped logically and exported in tabular form • Re-run capability for future batches with minimal setup • Well-commented code and a short README explaining dependencies and usage Python feels natural here—pdfplumber or PyPDF2 for parsing, Tesseract or similar OCR when needed, pandas for the comparison logic—but I’m open to whatever stack delivers the results. The key is reliability and ease of rerunning the process whenever fresh invoices land in my folder.

Hi there, thanks for the detailed explanation. I understand you need an automated solution to scan hundreds of PDF invoices, accurately extract vehicle card number, litres dispensed, and exact date-time, then detect and report duplicate invoices based solely on those fields rather than invoice numbers. SEO Global Team has strong experience building reliable Python-based document processing pipelines using PDF parsing and OCR, structured data extraction, and pandas-based comparison logic to flag duplicates with confidence scoring and clear audit trails. Our approach is to implement a re-runnable script that automatically processes all PDFs in a folder, intelligently extracts and validates the target fields, groups suspected duplicates, and exports a clean CSV or Excel report with references and confidence indicators, supported by well-documented code and a concise README. Are the PDFs mostly text-based, or do some require full OCR processing? Do the invoices follow a consistent layout or are there multiple templates? Should the script flag near-matches (for example, small timestamp differences) or only exact matches?

Dear Client, Greetings!! I have gone through the project description, and found that all of the mentioned requirements fall over my expertise, as I have hands-on experience on python, AI/ML, Data Science, software building, etc. I can build a Python-based pipeline that scans all PDFs end to end, reliably extracts the vehicle card number, litres, and tanking timestamp, then groups and flags true duplicates with a confidence score. I’ve done similar invoice and document-matching work using pdfplumber, OCR fallback, and pandas, and I’ll deliver clean CSV or excel output plus reusable, well-documented code so you can rerun it on future batches with almost no setup. Lets discuss further over a chat. Also, I have been coding on Machine Learning and Data Science with python from past 7 years. I have the experience of working with 4 giant tech companies, including freelancing on upwork, fiverr and freelancer. Hope to hear from you soon!!. Regards, Rojan

Hi, I can build a reliable Python pipeline that processes your entire invoice folder automatically, extracts the vehicle card number, litres, and exact tanking date-time from each PDF (text-first parsing, with OCR fallback only when needed), then groups and flags suspected duplicates based strictly on those three fields. You’ll get a rerunnable command that outputs a clean CSV/Excel report with duplicate groups, confidence score, and PDF/page reference for spot-checking, plus well-commented code and a short README for easy future batches.

Hi, I hope you are doing well. Very happy to bid your project because my skills are fitted in your project. I’ve built multiple Python document-ingestion pipelines that extract structured fields from mixed (text + scanned) PDFs using pdfplumber/PyMuPDF + OCR, then validate and deduplicate records with robust matching logic and reviewable reports. I will deliver a rerunnable Python script (and optional lightweight UI) that batch-scans your invoice folder, extracts vehicle card number, litres, and exact tanking date-time using hybrid text parsing + high-accuracy OCR fallback, and writes per-PDF results with page references and extraction confidence. I will then implement deterministic duplicate grouping (exact match on the three fields, plus configurable tolerance rules if desired), exporting a clean CSV/Excel report that clusters suspected duplicates, includes confidence scores, and ships with well-commented code + a short README for easy future re-runs. If you send the message, we can discuss the project more. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for posting this project. I've carefully read your requirements and believe this is an excellent fit for my skill set. I have significant experience automating PDF data extraction and duplicate detection using Python tools such as pdfplumber, PyPDF2, and Tesseract OCR, along with pandas for robust comparison logic. I can deliver a lightweight script that processes all PDFs in bulk, extracts the needed fields with high accuracy, and outputs clear CSV/Excel reports of suspected duplicates, complete with confidence scores and page references. The solution will be easy to re-run for future invoice batches, well-documented, and straightforward to set up. To ensure at least 95% extraction accuracy and minimize false positives, may I ask if the three target fields (vehicle card number, litres dispensed, date-time) consistently appear in similar locations/formats across your invoices, or do they vary based on invoice template or supplier? Looking forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, Vitalii.

Hi, I reviewed your project about "AI Tool for Duplicate Invoice Detection" and noticed that you're working with PDF invoice parsing and OCR-based data extraction. That tells me the main challenge here is achieving high accuracy extraction of customer-specific fields from diverse PDF formats without relying on invoice numbering schemes. I’ve worked on similar AI-powered data extraction projects where I: - designed scalable backend APIs, - implemented secure authentication and data models, - and delivered production-ready web/mobile features. For your project, I’d suggest starting with a hybrid approach using pdfplumber for text extraction combined with Tesseract OCR fallback where text is embedded as images to ensure accuracy above 95%. Implementing robust data validation and grouping logic using pandas will help minimize false positives and support easy rerunning on new batches. Before moving forward, I have one quick question: Do you have a representative sample of the PDFs to verify extraction accuracy and handle any peculiarities early in development? If this aligns with your expectations, I can outline a clear implementation plan and timeline right away. Best regards, Nilo
