Extract structured data from any document—PDFs, scans, photos—without templates or manual setup. Built on Lido’s AI extraction engine.
Upload any document — PDF, scan, or photo — and get structured data back immediately. No setup, no templates, no waiting.
Drop native or scanned PDFs. The parser handles invoices, statements, reports, forms, and multi-page documents.
The PDF data parser extracts structured fields, nested tables, and free-text sections using layout-agnostic AI—no templates needed.
Get structured output as Excel, CSV, or JSON. Use the REST API to integrate parsed PDF data into your pipeline.

PDF data parsing is the technology that transforms unstructured documents—PDFs, images, scans—into organized data that systems can process. Whether the output is a spreadsheet, CSV, or JSON, pdf data parsing removes the need for staff to manually read and retype information from each document.
Legacy extraction approaches needed per-layout templates or training samples to function. This served well enough for uniform documents from one provider, but the approach collapsed when dealing with documents from numerous sources using different layouts. Maintaining the template library became an ongoing cost that grew with each new document source.
The current standard is layout-agnostic AI extraction. The AI reads documents contextually instead of using coordinates or training samples—it understands that a field labeled “Total” contains a total amount regardless of where it sits on the document. Lido leverages this approach to extract data from any document on the first upload with no templates or training data needed.
For teams selecting a pdf data parsing solution, the critical factors are accuracy on diverse document layouts, output format versatility, integration with downstream systems, and compliance certifications. Lido addresses all of these with SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, HIPAA eligibility, and a REST API for automated access.
“We process documents from over 200 sources with completely different layouts. This handled them all on the first upload without any configuration.”
“Manual data entry was eating 15 hours a week. We cut that to under an hour by letting the AI extract everything into a spreadsheet automatically.”
“The confidence scoring is what sold us. We set a 95% threshold and only review flagged fields instead of spot-checking everything.”
Audited controls over a sustained period, not a point-in-time check.
Bank-grade encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.
Documents deleted within 24 hours. No copies retained.
Pdf Data Parsing is the process of reading documents such as PDFs, scanned images, and photos, then extracting specific fields and converting them into structured data like spreadsheet rows, CSV, or JSON. Modern pdf data parsing tools use AI vision models that understand document layout and context, so they do not require templates or manual zone configuration.
AI-powered pdf data parsing handles invoices, receipts, purchase orders, bank statements, financial reports, tax forms, medical records, contracts, and virtually any other document type. The same extraction engine works across all formats without separate configurations.
AI-based pdf data parsing typically achieves 95 to 99 percent accuracy on well-structured documents. Confidence scoring flags uncertain fields for human review rather than guessing silently. Lido provides confidence scores on every extracted field so teams can set review thresholds appropriate for their requirements.
Supported output formats include Excel spreadsheets, Google Sheets, CSV files for import into accounting or ERP systems, JSON for API integrations, and XML for legacy systems. Lido also provides a REST API that returns structured JSON with field-level confidence scores.
