This is the best tool I’ve used without a doubt.
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.
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.
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.
blown away by how fast, simple, and accurate Lido is. I have stacks of PDFs to process every month, and it handles them all at once, giving me perfectly formatted spreadsheets. Must have tool for anyone doing manual data entry from PDFs into spreadsheets.
Lido made extracting data from a ton of PDFs so easy. It gave me exactly the spreadsheet format I needed in no time. Highly recommend. Customer support is surprisingly quick.
Awesome :). We use it to extract data from invoices every month into different spreadsheet rows
Lido is seriously amazing. I had a ton of PDFs to pull data from, and it made the whole process so simple. Just upload them, and it extracts everything perfectly into the exact spreadsheet format I needed.
