FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI edit my original PDF files?

    No. The AI only reads the data from the PDFs. It does not change or overwrite your original documents.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically upload the CSV to my accounting software?

    No. The AI generates the CSV file for you. You are responsible for uploading that file to your specific software.

  • 03

    What happens if an invoice is a blurry scan?

    The AI relies on the text within the PDF. If the scan is too poor for the text to be readable, the extraction will fail.

  • 04

    Can I customize the CSV columns?

    Yes. You can tell your AI exactly which fields you want to include or exclude in the final CSV output.

  • 05

    Does the AI handle multi-page invoices?

    Yes. The tool is designed to capture data across all pages of a single invoice document.
