 # mamluk-knowledgespace-import
 This is source code for transforming PDFs from the Mamluk journal project to Simple Archive Format import objects for knowledgespace.uchicago.edu
+
+Step 1
+======
+
+The first step in this project was to extract the useful metadata from the PDFs retrieved from the primary stakeholder. After extraction occured, the data needed to be entered into a report for all stakeholders to review.
+
+How I solved the first requirement:
+
+I used the third-party python library PyPDF2 after a quick google search resulted in several StackOverflow discussions pointint to that library. After checking the [project github][https://github.com/mstamy2/PyPDF2], I am comfortable in stating that this project is still active and so still safe to use for this task.
