[jats-list] conversion houses for PDF to JATS/BITS

["Mary McRae mmcrae@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're in the final stages of converting a fair amount of legacy content for
our client and are now faced with the challenge of ongoing conversion as new
content is produced. The volume is very low - a handful of new publications
are released each quarter, each containing anywhere from 40-50 pages to
several hundred, with hundreds of citations that are fully tagged (see
http://store.samhsa.gov/shin/content//SMA15-4930/SMA15-4930.pdf,
http://store.samhsa.gov/shin/content//SMA15-4924/SMA15-4924.pdf for examples)
. There are also a number of smaller publications that are consumer-oriented,
but these are easily handled in-house. We need to have them available to the
public as soon as practical, so saving them up to send off to a conversion
house as a larger batch is undesirable.

I'm exploring alternatives, and would be interested in hearing how anyone in a
similar situation addresses the challenge, as well as recommendations of
service providers. Feel free to respond off-list to mmcrae@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you!
