This is the best tool I’ve used without a doubt.

Luis Feb 26, 2025 [email protected]

I hate manually entering data from PDFs into spreadsheets. Hate it. Causes human error and takes time. Lido automates this with reliability and 100% accuracy. I can even export the spreadsheet output as an Excel, CSV, push to Google Sheets, etc.

Lola Adriana Dzg Feb 26, 2025 [email protected]

Very happy. Cut down my invoice processing work by 20 hours per week - now it's fully automated. All I do is upload my invoices, and the data fields I care about are instantly extracted into a clean spreadsheet format. I then upload the spreadsheet to QuickBooks Online. My boss is very happy - we use this tool instead of hiring someone else to help with the manual work.

Lola Adriana Dzg Feb 26, 2025 [email protected]

The tool cut down my invoice processing time from 80% of my work to 10% of work (like 20 hours of work per week that is now automated). From what I've seen, 100% data extraction accuracy as well. Phew. My boss is very happy :). We use the tool instead of hiring somebody else to help.

Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with high-volume document processing. Simplifies the process of extracting data from multiple PDFs into clean, accurate spreadsheets.
