Converting a client's trial balance from a non-machine-readable PDF format into usable accounting data is manual, error-prone, and time-consuming.

PDF files often lack structured data, forcing auditors to manually retype or copy-paste numbers into spreadsheets or audit software, wasting time and introducing errors.
