Hire a PDF data extraction expert without the freelancer hunt

Not all PDFs are equal. A digital PDF exported from accounting software has real text inside it, and extraction can be close to exact. A scanned PDF or a phone photo is just an image, so it needs OCR first, and accuracy then depends on scan quality, fonts and handwriting. The agent checks your samples and tells you which kind you have before quoting.

Common jobs include supplier invoices into an accounts-payable sheet, bank and card statements into transaction lists, purchase orders, lab reports, shipping documents and government forms. Tables that run across several pages, totals on the last page and layouts that differ by vendor are handled explicitly rather than hoped for. If you have twenty suppliers, the agent maps each layout it finds in your samples.

Extraction without checks is just faster data entry with new errors. Every extractor validates its own output: line items must add up to the invoice total, statement balances must roll forward, dates and amounts must parse. Rows that fail a check land in a separate 'needs review' list instead of slipping quietly into your books, so a person only looks at the exceptions.
