Dollar amounts!

It seems like dollar amounts aren't included in the data fields. For most users this would be one of the most important attributes to capture.

My guess is that this is because there's more variability in where these appear; in some contracts these are only on the last page while others include it on most pages. I believe some of these appear at variable y-positions.

Do you have a notion of how to best implement these? If I were to start adding this, where in the process would it make most sense to you to include a (perhaps station specific) routine for gathering them?
