Frequently asked questions
Will the extraction work on machine-generated PDFs from accounting software?+
Yes — PDFs generated by Xero, QuickBooks, SAP, and similar systems have consistent table structures that extract well.
What about scanned paper invoices?+
Scanned invoices need OCR before extraction. Run the OCR tool first to create a text layer, then convert to Excel.
Can I batch-process multiple invoices?+
Process each invoice PDF individually. Batch PDF processing is available in the Pro tier.
