    PDF Invoice and Order Conversion to XML/EDI?

      Hi.

       

      My company receives a lot of PDF documents that we hand enter because they don't come in via EDI.

       

      I'm wondering if anyone has found a good way to convert PDF documents such as Invoices and Purchase Orders into useable EDI (ie XML,X12 ec). Please don't respond saying use one of the free converters, I've tried them and they are not even close to what I need. Also the Save as XML options don't do any good either.

       

      I'm looking for an "intelligent" converter that knows where data is and can create a properly formatted XML for import into our ERP system. I know that may be asking a lot but I thought I would see if anyone had any useful advice or knew of some software/services out there for this.

       

      TIA - Samuel.

          Hi,

           

          have a look on our web page www.pdf2edi.net.

           

          We offer a service to convert a PDF document such as Orders, DespatchAdvice or Invoice e.g. to a structure message.

           

          But to convert a PDF in a EDI message e.g. XML needs a template which knows about supplierparty, buyerparty articlenumber and so on.

           

          PLease feel free to contact me for further information.

           

          Best wishes
