Hello and thank you for your interest in my bid request. The website where I want to get the pdf files (restaurant menus) from is: [login to view URL]
The main category would be the city:
NYC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, and Washington DC.
The second category is the “Cuisine?? - please note that cities may have different types of cuisines.
For the interface of the program, I want to be able to choose which City to get the menus from and then select the Cuisine. The program would have to run on Windows XP.
The way the menus are saved manually is first going to a restaurant like: [login to view URL] and then clicking on “Printable Menu(pdf)??. This opens up a new window and I have to save the menu manually as well as renaming the file to the name of the restaurant; the default name is “printablemenu?? and I would like your program to somehow save the file as the name of the restaurant.
So the file format I want the program to save the menus is: City\C uisine\Restaurant [login to view URL]
Thank you and please let me know if there are any more questions.
Regards,
Larry
