PDF Trawler

This script will recursively search a directory for PDF files and load them into the structure entity at the root of the data tree.

/**
 * PDF file loader.
 * Trawls a directory and all its subdirectories, and looks for PDF files.
 * Extracts the individual molecules from the file and loads them into the
 * structure entity at the root of the data tree.
 *
 * Usage:
 * 1. create a structure entity in the project explorer
 * 2. Add a fields named 'Filename' and 'Name'
 * 3. Edit the settings in the 'adjust these variables' section (the defaults are for the
 * Pubchem demo data tree in the sample project)
 * 4. Run the script
