FAQ

Why do PDF tables shift after conversion?

Complex headers, cross-page tables, scans and merged cells can affect recognition. Review the exported file carefully.

Can invoices extract amounts and dates automatically?

The first version connects OCR and table extraction tools. Invoice field extraction can become a paid workflow later.

Can contracts be exported directly to JSON?

The first version extracts text and editable documents. Contract templates and JSON export can be added later.
