Fix empty or wrong fields by dragging a rectangle on the PDF and applying the captured text to the review panel in Parsedit. Fix empty or wrong fields by dragging a rectangle on the PDF and applying the captured text to the review panel in Parsedit.
Create your first parser in minutes. No code, no setup calls.
Authorize Parsedit from Zapier, map Upload Document or New Parsed Document to a parser, and manage connections from the Integrations page.
Extraction gets most fields right on clean invoices. The last mile is a review surface that sits next to the original file so you are not retyping from a second window.
Parsedit’s review workspace is built for that: PDF (or image) on the left, grouped fields on the right, line-item tables when needed. PDF text selection is the shortcut when a value is empty, truncated, or pulled from the wrong place.
PDF selection applied to a review field.
Use it when:
Type directly into the field when you already know the value (for example a vendor rename to match QuickBooks). Selection shines when the truth is only on the page.
You land in the document workspace: file preview, Review fields, and extraction output below if you need JSON. Official steps: Review and approval.
Review workspace with PDF preview and extracted fields.
Tight selections beat whole-paragraph grabs. For multi-line addresses, select the block you want stored as one field, or split across fields if your schema separates street and city.
Header fixes are usually one field at a time. Line items open as tables. Correct description, quantity, unit price, and amount cells the same way you would in a sheet. If the template’s line-item shape does not match how you post, change the template for future uploads rather than fighting every document. See Capturing invoice line items without breaking your schema.
Leave auto-send off while you are still training your eye on a new vendor set. There is no confidence-based auto-approval that bypasses your choice. Automation docs: Automation.
If the document is a child of a mixed PDF packet, the header notes the parent file and page range (for example pages 1–2). Selection and send work the same as standalone docs. You only see the segment for that child. Background: Document packets.
Review is not a consolation prize. It is how ops keeps speed without silent ledger damage. Pair this habit with From PDF to approved data in 5 minutes and Why human review before send still wins.
PDF text selection and fix OCR fields searches are last-mile. Show the drag-apply loop and when to edit the template instead.
Can I review on mobile? The workspace is built for desktop review density. Use desktop for accurate selection.
Do my corrections change billing? No. Pages were already counted at processing. Edits do not re-bill.
What if the PDF is a flat scan? OCR still provides a selectable layer in normal cases. If the scan is unreadable, fix what you can verify and reject or re-upload a better file.
Can I export after review without a live destination? Yes. CSV and JSON export from the review page or document history.
