Frequently asked questions
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
No. Scanned pages are images without a text layer. Run the PDF OCR tool first, or use a text-based PDF.
Will the formatting match the PDF?
The goal is editable data. Colours, fonts and exact column widths are not reproduced.
Which tables work best?
Clearly aligned tables with one value per cell, such as statements, reports and price lists.
