- TZubiri 2y agoThe issue with that promise is that anyone can convert pdfs, the question is whether the conversions are correct or whether you have Income Expenses 200 100 On one document, and Income Expenses 20 0100 On others. There's no shortage of products that tried to solve this problem from scratch (or by piggybacking on other projects) and called it a day without worrying about the huge problem that is quality and parseability. The most robust players just give you the coordinates of a glyph and you are on your own: Textract, PDFBox.
