Give your documents a second life.
Build a document import that preserves headings, handles uncertain extraction, and connects useful text to its original source and revision.

Give your documents a second life.
Create a useful path from authorized manuals and documents to structured content. Preserve meaning, flag uncertain extraction, and keep every result connected to its source.

Understand the collection first
Inventory text documents, scans, tables, columns, and embedded material. Test representative files before choosing a parsing path. Different destination uses need different quality checks: search text and a structured procedure are not interchangeable outputs.
Use an approved access process for protected files. A parser returning no text should create an explicit review outcome, not a success status for an empty document.
Preserve source and section context
Give documents stable identifiers that do not depend only on filenames. Keep revisions, extraction configuration, and accurate locations where available. A page number should remain unknown when the extraction method cannot establish it.
Preserve headings and connect tables with labels. Inspect reading order on multi-column documents and flag uncertain sections rather than inventing missing transitions.
Build a review and reprocessing path
Separate machine extraction from editorial approval. Route scanned material through an explicit recognition and review process when needed. Decide which comments and embedded objects belong in the destination.
Keep original and derived records under appropriate access and retention rules. Reprocessing should produce a reviewable new result instead of silently overwriting an already approved version.
Turn the idea into a test
Use a small, representative source and write down the expected result for one accepted record, one correction, and one repeated attempt. Keep the original values and the destination expectations visible throughout the review.
Use the format guides for source decisions and the local quickstart to see a simple mapping in action.
