Pain Points (Public)

Businesses accumulate batches of same-layout PDF documents—form submissions, product catalogs, or structured reports—and need every field or section reliably extracted into a structured Excel workbook without manual re-keying or OCR errors corrupting text, numbers, or punctuation.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Build a batch extraction pipeline using pdfplumber or PyMuPDF to parse consistently-structured PDFs, map each detected field or section heading to a predefined column schema, and write the results directly to an xlsx file via openpyxl—handling edge cases like embedded diagrams by flagging those cells rather than dropping content silently.
