Parse PDF invoices — native text or scanned image
Upload a PDF invoice of any kind. Text-based PDFs are read directly, scanned pages go through recognition, and multi-page documents keep their page structure so you can check any value against the page it came from.

What PDF Invoice Parser does
There are two kinds of PDF invoice and they need different handling. A native PDF exported from accounting software contains a real text layer. A scanned PDF is a picture of paper wrapped in a PDF container, with no text at all.
The parser detects which kind it has been given and routes it accordingly, so you do not have to know or care which you have.
Multi-page documents are common in supplier billing — a summary page followed by pages of line items. Pages stay navigable, and line items are collected across page boundaries into one table.

How it works in practice
Page navigation
Move between pages of the source document while reviewing, with the current page indicated.
Native versus scanned detection
The document is inspected for a text layer and routed to direct parsing or to recognition automatically.
Cross-page line items
A line-item table split over several pages is reassembled into one continuous table, with each row keeping its source page.
Review and correct
Every document-level field and every row remains editable before export.
Explicit PDF error states
Password-protected, corrupted, zero-page and unsupported PDFs each produce a distinct message that says what to do next, rather than a generic failure.
Structured export
Excel with summary and line-item sheets, CSV, or JSON including page references.

Teams receiving supplier PDFs by email and rekeying them into an ERP.

How your documents are handled
- Recognition runs inside your browser. The document is not uploaded to a server to be read.
- Because the file stays on your device during extraction, its contents are never written to our logs or held in a processing queue.
- A conversion record — filename, size and page count — is stored against your account so your allowance and history are accurate. The document's contents are not part of that record.
- The connection to the application is HTTPS/TLS only.
- You can delete a conversion record at any time from your account.
