PDF / packing list / invoice files

You can upload Tradelink picking PDFs, supplier invoices, European packing lists, certificates, TXT/OCR files or Excel files. Text PDFs can be converted immediately. Scanned image-only PDFs are now sent through server OCR if Tesseract + Poppler are installed; otherwise use the Parse Documents tab to paste OCR text.

How this works

Upload the supplier PDF, picking list, invoice or TXT/OCR file.
The app extracts text from text-layer PDFs and also tries OCR for scanned PDFs/images when the server supports it.
The parser converts American piece-by-width lists or European summary lists.
Converted rows appear in the Sage GRV Preview and warehouse receiving screens.

Scanned/image-only PDFs are now supported when the server has Tesseract OCR and Poppler/pdftoppm. If those tools are not installed, the PDF is still stored and you can paste OCR text in the Parse Documents tab.
