I'd see it as: Person saves PDF to "incoming PDF directoy". You launch the bash script which divides it into pages, you use pdf2txt to extract the strings, you grep out the name and rename the PDF to that persons name. Version two would look up the name in a table, and send the email automatically. Version 3 require migrating to perl, and would take over most of the accounting package function to try and eliminate the "print to PDF" setp, and probably isn't a good idea. In version 4, we migrate to PHP, and turn the payroll system into a web based application with manager, secretary, and employee roles.

In version 5, we'll implement voice recognition, perceptrons, robotic arms...

Sorry, I had to insert this in here. No offense to Tony's girlfriend. Moving along...
