RE: the "Extract & parse content" feature, does this mean you can parse and extract data from PDF documents like bank statements or invoices?

Hi mmckelvy, Co-Founder of konfuzio.com here. If you are looking for a tool to extract information from documents and download results via API or CSV ping me. You can train your custom AI Model using our PDF Annotation Tool. There is no coding required. Using your documents as training data you can go live within a few hours or use our pre-trained models. We don't have pricing plans on our homepage, as we mainly focus on large enterprises at the moment. But I would love to hear your feedback. Best Chris

We can extract text and form data -- we'll try to get some documentation around that in the next week or so.

"can" - easier said than done, especially tables.

I don't see it in the Demo. Did I miss it ?!

I don't think this solution is doing what you are looking for. To detect tables reliably in PDF you need some heavy-duty AI like https://www.pdftron.com/pdf-tools/pdf-table-extraction/
