Questions about converting a PDF to Excel

How is my PDF read?

Presuo first tries to read the document directly. If it can't, it offers an AI extraction, which uses pages from your free allowance.

Is the AI result reliable?

The extraction is a proposal: always check sections, line items, quantities and prices in the editor before downloading the Excel file.

Is there a page limit?

Yes. AI extraction is limited to the pages of your free allowance, shown on this page.

What about prices that include VAT?

If the document doesn't say whether prices include VAT, the import asks you before it continues.
