Does this parse data from a Hy-Tek Meet Manager PDF file?

Are you aware of a parser that can extract data ( CL2 or HY3 )results and splits for events by Swimmer/Team?

Sadly, no, doesn't handle raw PDF files. It's been a while since I looked at the code, but I think I ended up having to manually cut-and-paste from the PDF into a text document, and then apply the python processing to the .txt file. There was a pdf-parser python library that I remember trying to use, but there was too much variability with the PDFs that I was spending all my time on edge cases.

I've written code that extracts swimmers (that might be in this repo, haven't checked), so I know you can do it yourself. I don't know of any existing parsers off the top of my head.
