DOCUMENT EXTRACTION · Workflow idea

Make scanned documents easier to search and check.

Provide a permitted PDF or image and prepare readable text, tables, and selected details for review. Keep page context with the extracted information, flag unclear sections, and have a person verify important figures and statements before using them in a financial record or sharing them outside the team.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person provides a permitted PDF or image, such as a statement, report, or scanned form

“Extract readable text and requested details from the selected document, retain page context, and flag uncertain results for human verification.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps people work with text and tables in scanned documents without manually retyping every page.

  1. Select a document for an approved purpose

    Confirm the file is in scope, appropriate to process, and supplied by someone authorized to use it.

  2. Prepare text from pages and images

    Make printed content, headings, and tables available in a searchable, readable form while retaining page context.

  3. Organize requested details

    Arrange relevant names, dates, figures, and table entries into a clear review format.

  4. Check uncertain text against the original

    Have a person verify important amounts, names, and statements on the source page, especially where image quality is poor.

  5. Approve any further use or sharing

    Keep extracted information private until an authorized reviewer approves its use and confirms the intended audience.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

Searchable document text and organized details with page references, ready for a reviewer to check against the original.

The handoff

Searchable document text and organized details with page references, ready for a reviewer to check against the original.

Keep in mind

Text extraction can misread small print, handwriting, figures, or table structure, and documents may contain sensitive information. Use approved private storage, limit access, compare important details with the original page, and require a responsible person to approve any external sharing or consequential use.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose eligible file types and purposes

Define which PDFs and images may be reviewed and what information should be extracted.

Set private file handling practices

Select an access-controlled location, limit retention, and explain how sensitive documents are protected.

Define review rules for important details

Identify figures, names, and statements that must be compared with the original before being used.

Test varied scans and table layouts

Check clear, low-quality, multi-page, and table-heavy files to make uncertainty and missing content visible.
