What Is PEDIF? PDF-to-EDI & E-Invoice Automation | PEDIF
PEDIF connects recurring PDF and email intake with structured data, validation rules, review paths and configured handoff.
Existing ERP and EDI workflows can remain in place. PEDIF complements document-based gaps for a clearly defined document, layout and target-workflow scope.
Why Traditional PDF Processing Has Its Limits
Manual data entry, varying layouts, and unclear exceptions slow down many document processes. PEDIF provides a controlled path from the PDF file to structured data.
The Effort Involved in Manual Data Entry
Current Reality
TTime-consuming and error-prone data capture with limited resources
Targeted Automation of Recurring Workflows
Approved layouts can be processed in a structured manner. Unclear or deviating cases remain visible and can be checked in a controlled manner.
Variable Results with OCR and AI
Current Reality
OCR- and AI-based systems can produce different results even with identical layouts.
Controlled Recognition of Known Layouts
Known layouts always lead to defined results; changes and unknown cases are handled separately.
Changes require clear control
Current Reality
Even minor layout changes can affect existing rules and lead to incorrect or incomplete results.
Versioned rules instead of unnoticed deviations
Fingerprints, validation rules, and target outputs are maintained, checked, and re-approved as needed.
Why PEDIF?
Current Reality
Existing systems expect structured, reliable data. However, incoming PDFs often do not fit directly into these processes.
Controlled Transfer to Existing Systems
PEDIF complements existing ERP, EDI, DMS, or API processes by capturing, validating, and transferring recurring documents in a structured manner.
How Fingerprint Works
A fingerprint assigns a recurring layout to a defined workflow. Fields, rules, target output and exceptions are configured and tested during onboarding.
