Introduction

PDF-to-JSON extraction is a common and crucial element of business-wide data integration. Here are some tips to keep in mind when sending PDFs (e.g. POs, RFQs, Quotations, Forms, etc) to our API for extraction.

​
Best Practices for Preparing PDFs

  1. Lighting: If a scan or image is being sent as PDF, ensure that the lighting is even and sufficient.

  2. Angle: If a scan or image is being sent as PDF, ensure that you positioned the camera directly above a flat surface to avoid distortion.

  3. Background: Choose a clean, uncluttered background to keep the focus on the subject. A neutral color is often best.

  4. Resolution: Save PDFs at the highest resolution possible to ensure clarity and detail.

  5. Focus: Ensure the document is in sharp focus. Use manual focus if necessary to achieve the best results.
