FileField parser populating other fields

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking to building an Model where it's fields are populated by the contents of a PDF file.

I've come to this solution, one I didn't like:

class ContaPdf(models.Model):

  conta_pdf = models.FileField(upload_to='conta_pdf')

  

class Conta(models.Model)

  data_inicio = models.DateField()

  data_fim = models.DateField()

  data_vencimento = models.DateField()

  telefone = models.ForeignKey(Telefone)

@receiver(pos_save, sender=ContaPdf)

def pdf_parser(sender, **kwards):

  # Parses data from PDF file and create/save Conta object.

Is there any easier way to do this, considering I'll be using mostly django.admin as interface?

I can't quite see the alternatives.

Thanks a lot,

Paulo
