How PDF to XML fits into your work

1. Prepare the source

Use PDF input. Remove passwords where appropriate and choose clear, complete source material.

2. Inspect the structure

Check how the content should map into XML. Start with the example output while file processing is being connected.

3. Review before using

Compare important details with the source. Validate the XML against your target schema; well-formed markup alone does not guarantee a valid import.

Where this is useful

Data interchange

Structure document information with tags for downstream systems. Use the result as a starting point for editing and review.

System imports

Structure document information with tags for downstream systems. Keep the source available so another person can check the details.

Document archiving

Structure document information with tags for downstream systems. Bring reviewed information into the next step of your process.

Understand the output

XML describes a hierarchy with tags and attributes. Your receiving system may require a particular schema, namespaces and field order.

Validate the XML against your target schema; well-formed markup alone does not guarantee a valid import.

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 XML output. XML describes a hierarchy with tags and attributes. Your receiving system may require a particular schema, namespaces and field order.

What should I check before using the result?

Validate the XML against your target schema; well-formed markup alone does not guarantee a valid import.

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.
