Convert Supplier PDF Price Lists into Structured Excel & CSV
Problem: Unusable PDF Price Catalogs from Wholesalers
Many manufacturers and distributors only distribute pricing in multi-page PDF documents. Copy-pasting data manually is slow and error-prone:
- Complex Multi-Column Layouts: Tables split across page boundaries with misaligned columns, wrapped SKU numbers, and embedded footnotes.
- Scanned or Locked Documents: Text that cannot be copied or vector layouts that export with chaotic tab stops.
- Inconsistent Pricing Tiers: Wholesale vs. retail prices merged into single cells or grouped by quantity brackets without clear structure.
- Mixed Product Data: Dimensions, colors, and options concatenated into product descriptions rather than separated into attributes.
How We Extract and Transform Your Data
- Precision Table Extraction: We extract tabular data preserving column headers, line items, and product hierarchies across hundreds of PDF pages.
- Column Cleansing & Normalization: We separate SKUs, product names, tier pricing, minimum order quantities (MOQ), and packaging units into dedicated fields.
- Data Type Correction: Numerical values, prices, and stock figures are normalized into standard formats suitable for spreadsheet formulas or database imports.
- Export to Your Target Format: You receive structured Excel (XLSX) or CSV files ready for upload to Shopify, WooCommerce, ERP, or inventory management systems.
