What is in this repo?

PROCUREMENT and RDTE justifications books (PDFs + attachments) harvested from the USD Comptroller website (http://comptroller.defense.gov/) for 2020.

The catalog of files that were harvested can be found by looking at the jbook_list.json file:

Each PDF file was..

• Downloaded
• Parsed for attachments
• Any attachments that were zip files was unzipped (typically represented as .zzz files)

by the included fetch_jbook_list.php script.

IMPORTANT NOTE

You do NOT necessarily need to run this script - as all of the extracted files are included in this repo. A log of each the extract is also included in fetch_jbook_list.log

Why was this done?

The XML files are a pain to download / extract from the PDF files uploaded to the comptroller sites - so we wrote a quick script to download and extract - and figured it was best to make the files available to everyone to save them the trouble.
