Analysis of the content contained in PDF documents is often required to enable business-critical work processes and decision-making. However, manual analysis of documents is expensive, time consuming, and error prone. Accurate extraction of content and context from PDF documents so it can be analyzed by intelligent bots or Robotic Process Automation technology allows processes to be automated, creating new efficiencies, enabling deeper insights, and empowering better decision-making. For example, analysis of long form documents such as sales contracts can be automated to identify which contain non-standard clauses or to ensure the contracts are adhering to certain regulatory or compliance standards.
