Extracting structured data from PDFs has always been one of the messiest parts of automation. Every document looks slightly different. Tables don’t line up. Dates are written in five different ways. You end up juggling regexes, brittle scripts, and countless re-runs before something finally works.
At Doctly, we’ve been building tools that make working with PDFs less painful. Today, we’re excited to launch Extractor Studio, a new way to design, refine, and publish PDF extractors powered by AI. It’s built for developers, data teams, and product builders who are tired of wasting days on document parsing.

How Extractor Studio Works
Upload sample PDFs
Start by dropping in a handful of PDFs. They don’t have to be identical — Extractor Studio thrives on variations. The more examples you give it, the better it understands the quirks of your documents.

Generate JSON output with AI
Once your samples are in, you can ask the AI to create a JSON schema or CSV output for your data. You can either use the Chat or specifically ask for a schema or make changes to the schema or you can start with “I’m Feeling Lucky” then make adjustments through the chat.

Refine and Compare with Diffs
Building extractors is an iterative process. If you need to make changes after you publish, you can continue your conversation and compare your latest edits against the previous published version with a clean diff view. That way, you always know exactly what changed and why.

Version control built in
No more wondering which extractor is in production. Every version is saved, tagged, and ready to roll back if you need to.
Publish to an API endpoint
When you’re happy with the extractor, publishing is just one click. Instantly, it’s available at an API endpoint you can call from your applications.
