This has absolutely nothing to do with Java, but it may be one of the most important things I've ever posted here. Friday Governor George W. Bush of Texas posted complete records of his campaign contributions on his web site. However, he posted them in PDF format so they couldn't be imported into a database or a spreadsheet, and consequently reporters and voters couldn't find out just how much of his money was coming from whom. Or at least that's what he thought. :-)
I am pleased to announce, that after a few hours of intense hacking I have succeeded in extracting the crucial information from the PDF files and have posted them online in tab delimited format for anybody who wants them. Accountants, start your spread sheets!
