Product facts

What to know before you download or buy.

Test representative files and field rules before relying on a larger extraction job.

01

Windows compatibility

Install the utility on the Windows computer that can access the required files and folders.

02

Trial before purchase

Add files, choose fields and inspect representative matches before buying. A license is required to save the full output.

03

Custom-rule testing

A regular expression can miss valid records or match unwanted text, so validate it on known examples first.

04

Readable source text

Image-only scans may need OCR before their text and data fields can be extracted reliably.

Practical note Keep the original files unchanged until the extracted records have been checked against representative sources.

Where it helps

Useful when the same fields are buried across many files.

Apply one reviewed field definition to an authorized document collection and keep the result structured.

Document migration

Recover links, identifiers, and contact fields before moving an archive.

Compliance review

Locate known data patterns for authorized internal assessment.

Operations cleanup

Turn loosely structured reports and folders into a reviewable field set.
