Computer Help - converting a .pdf file to an .iXBRL format file

[Shamrock Shore]

Hi boys and girls

Would anyone be able to convert a .pdf file into iXBRL format for me?

Long story - but I need it done by 22 March.

Thanks.

Does the PDF contain XBRL or tables etc that you want to turn into XBRL?

[Shamrock Shore]

Nope.

It's a set of company accounts. I supposed the question properly should be exporting a Microsoft Word file to iXBRL.

But is that a hard thing to do without knowing what tags etc are to be used?

I can see how accounts software could produce XBRL, as it understands what various fields  are, but I don't see how Word can do it without a lot of manual intervention. Perhaps there is a tool somewhere that can parse the text and make a good guess as to what things are. Give Joan Burton a shout?
