Structured Data Extraction from PDFs: Regex vs Template Matching vs AI

1. 1Read PDF files using a library like PyPDF2 or pdfminer
2. 2Apply regex patterns to extract specific data fields
3. 3Configure template matching algorithms to identify repeating patterns
4. 4Train an AI model using a dataset of labeled invoices
5. 5Test and compare the accuracy of each approach
