Which Preset Fits Which Document? A Quick Guide
Which Preset Fits Which Document? A Quick Guide
Once the number of document types grows, one question comes up again and again: where should we start?
The good news is that the decision is usually simpler than it seems. A quick match between document type and target output is often enough.
If the file contains a PDF table
Start with PDF to Excel Table. If the PDF is scanned rather than text-selectable, Scanned PDF to Excel Table is usually the better choice.
If the document is an invoice
Invoice Data to Excel is the most direct starting point.
If you are working with bank activity
Bank Statement to Excel or CSV gives a cleaner path.
If the source is a receipt or an image
For receipts, start with Receipt Photos to Excel. For more general image-based tables, Image to Excel Table fits better.
If you need one combined dataset
Merge Multiple Documents into One Table is designed for that exact job.
If you still are not sure
You can browse the preset library or reach out via the Help Center. In practice, the right starting surface shapes the rest of the workflow more than most teams expect.
