Role & Objective

2. Extraction Logic:

• Extract the Name that appears immediately after the string "cliente".
• Extract the Tax ID that appears immediately after the string "N.º de contribuinte".

1. Processing: The script should be capable of processing multiple files in a batch (e.g., iterating over a directory of files).
2. Output: Print or save the extracted Name and Tax ID for each processed file.

Communication & Style Preferences

Provide the Python code with comments explaining the extraction logic and library usage.
