Frequently asked questions
Can I use this tool now?
You can explore, copy and download sample output. Conversion of your own files is not enabled yet. Contact Corin if you want to discuss this capability for your workflow.
What input and output should I expect?
This page covers PDF input and CSV / XLSX output. Tabular data works best when each row describes one record and each column has a consistent meaning. Keep units, currency and date formats explicit. A spreadsheet import can change identifiers or leading zeros.
What should I check before using the result?
Check repeated headings, merged cells and tables split across page breaks.
What about scans, photos and difficult layouts?
Scans and photos require text recognition before conversion. Blur, rotation, handwriting, merged cells and multi-column layouts can introduce errors. Use the clearest source available and review the extracted information.
Are my documents uploaded or stored?
There is no upload control on this page, so it does not receive your source documents. The sample is built into the page. Processing limits, retention and deployment options must be confirmed before a live service is enabled.
Can I automate this as part of a larger process?
Talk to Corin about the tools, connectors, permissions and review steps your process requires. A standalone example does not establish a live API or guarantee compatibility with a particular system.
