Team,

I'm working on a project that will involve processing 15,000+ complex
financial documents.  They are in PDF form.

Unfortunately, the documents are not available in a non-PDF form -- so I
have to electronically scan the documents and "break them down" into a
database.

I'm familiar enough with Rails, that I feel comfortable doing it with the
Rails framework -- but I'm not sure this is a good use of Rails.

Ruby and Javascript are the only programming languages I know, so I'd
either need to somehow do this as a Rails project (with Ruby and
javascript), or as a Ruby project.

If I do it as a Ruby project (not rails), can you make recommendations
about the best way to go about it?
