Upon upload, student resumes should have their text extracted using one of the following tools:
- smalot: A PDF parser library built into PHP that can be installed directly into the app
- Apache Tika: An external program that can be used as a sidecar to the application
Smalot PDFParser is more lightweight and will be easier to install, while Apache Tika is more feature-rich.
After a library is selected, Resume text should be extracted during the upload process and stored in a manner that facilitates vector and/or keyword search.
