Hey,

There are few things that need to be consider before looking for solution.

  1. Is it a digital PDF or scanned one.
  2. Data on these pdf’s are structured or unstructured.

If it’s a digital one, you can read pdf and extract information.
If it’s a scanned one, you have to use OCR and extract information.
Both cases are valid for structured data.

If you have unstructured data, you have to use ML capabilities.
