Data Extractor

How Our Data Extractor Works

I am sure you have seen a PDF file with lots of rows and columns of important information and you cannot just copy and paste it into Excel. Looking at it can be really annoying. We have all been in this situation. When you try to copy table data from a PDF by hand it usually ends up being a mess that takes a long time to fix. This kind of work is really frustrating. It makes you lose your productivity.

There is good news. You do not have to worry about this problem. Our Data Extractor tool changes the way you work with PDF tables. Getting tables out of PDFs is usually very hard because PDFs do not really have a "table" object. They just show where each character is on the page. To solve this problem OncePDF uses advanced algorithms to figure out how the text is lined up. The tool puts these pieces of text into rows and columns that make sense. This means you can quickly turn bank statements, detailed invoices and financial reports into clean spreadsheets that you can edit. Our Data Extractor tool makes this process very easy. Our Data Extractor tool is very useful.

Privacy By Design: Zero Server Uploads

Lets talk about something keeping your data safe. When you are working with financial statements or private employee records you do not want to upload that data to some server on the internet.. The best part is how we handle your files. With OncePDF everything happens on your device. Because of technologies, like WebAssembly and HTML5 we can process your PDFs right in your web browser. We do not upload anything to a server. Your data never leaves your computer so you know it is private, safe and it gets processed quickly. Our Data Extractor tool keeps your data safe.

Seamless Workflow Integration

Maybe you just extracted your data, but now you realize the original PDF itself needs some major tweaking before you share it with your boss. No problem. You can quickly hop over to edit your PDF text directly without skipping a beat. Or perhaps your document is part of a massive monthly report packet? You can easily reorganize those PDF pages to keep everything flowing logically. If the original file size is far too large to email to your accounting department, you can always compress the PDF to make it perfectly lightweight and shareable.

Why It Works So Well

If your PDF is a picture that was scanned our special vision mode kicks in. This mode looks at the dots that make up the picture and turns them into useful information.
