In my experience Azure’s Form Recognizer (now called “Document Intelligence”) is the best (cheapest/most accurate) PDF parser for tabular data.
If I were working on this problem in 2024, I’d use Azure to pre-process all docs into something machine parsable, and then use an LLM to transform/structure the processed content into my specific use-case.
For RAG, I’d treat the problem like traditional search (multiple indices, preprocess content, scoring, etc.).
Make the easy things easy, and the hard things possible.
- mkaszkowiak 2y agoDid you encounter hidden costs when using Azure Document Intelligence? I processed some PDFs using the paid tier, but the resulting costs were way higher than expected, despite using a prebuilt layout model for only structured extraction. Have no clue what could cause it, no extra details on the billing page. Not sure if the price is misleading, or if it's a skill issue on my part :)
- jumploops 2y agoWe did not, I remember costs matching our expectations. With that said, I have only used the previous tool (Form Recognizer) in production. Not sure if the new rebrand/product suite has more opaque costs.
