What is a PDF?
PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It’s a versatile file format created by Adobe that provides an easy, reliable way to present and exchange documents. Babelway helps you to easily set rules for extracting and processing data from PDF invoices, purchase orders, shipping notifications, and more.
How a PDF looks in Babelway
Automated processing of complex business documents – like invoices – requires precision. Why? Because even technologies that are accurate most of the time, (like automatic recognition and OCR) erode automation when you need to double-check entries for errors.
Babelway allows users to configure extraction rules in minutes based on fixed or relative document positions, so that data is accurately captured and transformed for truly touchless processing.
