I had an experience like this in college. A friend of mine worked as an administrative assistant and his job was to take a PDF that was several hundred pages long, and go through page by page and save it into several hundred individual pdfs based on one or two variables.
I wrote a python script to do this for him, wrapped a gui around it, and compiled it into an exe (this is how I taught myself python by the way). We sold it for $200 a piece to a couple of the departments at our school. When we went to the oracle rep to talk to her about automatically integrating this into the system's workflow, she told us that this feature already existed. Maybe it did, but apparently nobody knew about it or how to use it. We probably could have pursued it further, but then I graduated and moved across the country.
