PDFs are one of the most common formats for reports, invoices, contracts, and forms. They’re easy to share and store but notoriously difficult to extract data from. Tables, forms, and unstructured text can make manual extraction slow, error-prone, and inefficient.
Grepsr solves this challenge with AI-powered PDF extraction and parsing, converting even the most complex documents into structured, actionable datasets instantly. This allows businesses to save time, reduce errors, and make faster, data-driven decisions.
The Challenge of PDF Data Extraction
PDFs may look simple on the surface, but they hide multiple complexities:
- Varied Structure: PDFs may contain tables, multi-column text, forms, and embedded images.
- Unstructured Data: Key information is often scattered across pages in inconsistent formats.
- High Manual Effort: Extracting data manually from hundreds or thousands of PDFs is time-consuming and error-prone.
- Inconsistent Quality: Different PDFs use different layouts, making standard extraction methods unreliable.
Example: A logistics company receives hundreds of invoices daily in PDF format. Manually extracting invoice numbers, amounts, and dates can take hours and is prone to mistakes.
How Grepsr Makes PDF Data Usable
Grepsr leverages AI to automatically extract and parse data from PDFs, whether structured or unstructured. Key capabilities include:
- Table Extraction: Identify and extract data from complex tables accurately.
- Form Parsing: Capture data from form fields, checkboxes, and multi-line entries.
- Text Extraction: Detect and extract relevant text, even in multi-column layouts or scanned PDFs.
- Flexible Output: Convert extracted data into usable formats like CSV, Excel, or JSON for analysis.
Mini Case: A financial firm processes monthly PDF statements from multiple banks. Grepsr extracts all relevant transaction data and outputs it into a consolidated spreadsheet automatically, saving analysts hours of manual work.
