How to use Azure Cognitive Services to create different PDFs based on types from a single PDF?

Question

Hi experts,

I have several multi-page PDFs from multiple companies, each contains bank statements, purchase invoices from various suppliers and sales invoices. I would like to segregate each type into a separate PDF using Azure Cognitive Services. Can you please suggest the logic and services required (such as Form Recognizer) to achieve this task?

Thanks

Hi @Snehal Shah

follow these steps to segregate each type into a separate PDF using Azure Cognitive Services

1. Use Azure Form Recognizer to extract text and key-value pairs from PDFs.
2. Implement document classification logic based on the extracted data.
3. Split the PDFs into separate files for each document type.
4. Save the segregated PDFs into separate folders.

Hi @Snehal Shah ,

Adding to Azar's response - I want to point out that Azure Form Recognizer is now called "Azure AI Document Intelligence ".

For your scenario, consider using: Document Intelligence layout model

Document Intelligence layout model is an advanced machine-learning based document analysis API available in the Document Intelligence cloud. It enables you to take documents in various formats and return structured data representations of the documents. It combines an enhanced version of our powerful Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities with deep learning models to extract text, tables, selection marks, and document structure.

Hope that helps

Best,

Grace
