Plezio Draft PDF extraction: Extract product data from PDF files into your PIM.

Plezio Draft uses AI to pull product attributes, specifications, shipping requirements and compliance details from PDF files. That includes packaging mockups and multi-page spec sheets covering many products, and the results go back to your PIM.

Product data often arrives as a PDF.

Manufacturers, plants and suppliers send packaging mockups, spec sheets and compliance documents. Keying that information in is slow and error-prone.

  • Packaging mockups

    Features, colors, ingredients and materials sit in a PDF mockup instead of your product record.

  • Multi-page spec sheets

    Distributors receive long PDFs with tables of values for many items, which are hard to split out by SKU.

  • Incomplete supplier data

    Retailers get partial product data, while the critical specs are only in an attached PDF.

What Draft extracts from your PDFs.

  • Attributes from mockups

    Pull included features, color or style, and ingredients or materials from packaging files.

  • Specs from complex tables

    Parse detailed tables and measurements in multi-page documents.

  • Data for each SKU

    Identify and sort specifications for each product when one PDF covers several models.

  • Compliance and handling details

    Capture shipping and handling requirements, compliance information and certifications.
