The Challenge

Before DocExtract Pro:

  • Extracting fields like PO number, SLI codes, rates, quantities, delivery dates etc. from PDFs was painfully manual
  • Many POs had non-standard layouts—copy-pasting into Excel often broke formatting
  • Field-level precision (like mapping Rate to SLI Code) was hard to automate
  • Analysts spent hours scanning & compiling this data line by line


The Solution: DocExtract Pro

We built a desktop app using PyQt6 that:

  • Lets users upload multiple PDF files in one go
  • Uses AI API to extract structured data with context
  • Extracts both global fields (e.g., PO Number, Customer Name) and item-level details (e.g., SLI Code, Rate, Quantity)
  • Converts everything into clean Excel format
  • Features a sleek UI with dropdowns, logging, and custom query editing

DocExtract Pro is like having a data analyst that works in milliseconds.


Key Features

  • Animated Interface with gradients, rounded layouts, and elegant fade-in dialogs
  • PDF upload & deletion handled via secure API
  • Intelligent field parsing using regex and AI prompts
  • Users can customize the question sent to API for tailored extraction
  • Exports structured tables ready for reporting in Excel
  • Tracks all uploads with a source_ids.log file for audit and cleanup


Architecture at a Glance

  • Frontend: (custom UI, modals, scroll areas, gradients)
  • Backend: API for NLP-based PDF understanding
  • Data Handling: Pandas for final Excel compilation
  • Logging: Real-time QTextEdit console + .log file for backend traceability


The Impact

  • 90% faster processing compared to manual entry
  • Reduced human error to near-zero
  • Supports multiple PDFs per run
  • Easily extendable to other document types
  • Ready for deployment in purchase, finance, or legal teams
