Frequently asked questions
Is this an OCR table extractor?
No. The current workflow reads selectable PDF text and does not provide OCR for scanned tables.
Does it understand the meaning of each column?
No. It extracts text and table structure where supported; it does not infer accounting or business semantics.
What output do I receive?
The result is an editable XLSX workbook that you should review before relying on it for further work.
