I have not been able to parse a few fields from a pdf file with CAM::PDF or regular expressions. Can someone offer help on how I may accomplish the task?

I noticed that CAM::PDF changes $100 to $ 100.

I was not able to split on \n so I split the line on the Id number in the far right column.
The column AWD is the company that won.

I would like to capture all of the columns except comments.

Here are two Example files:

https://contractorconnection.gpo.gov/abstract/746810

https://contractorconnection.gpo.gov/abstract/746819

Thanks
