Tables spanning multiple pages in azure form recognizer? (v 3.0)


I am trying to extract data from invoices that have one table that can span multiple pages (see image for example)Sample document with table spanning in two pages

For this task I am using Microsoft's Form Recognizer Studio (Custom Model) version 3.0

My problem comes with the table. Once I train the model it only identifies the line items from page 1, it does not consider any line item from other pages but the first.

Is there any way to work around? Am I missing something?

Thank you


Solution

  • Form Recognizer custom does not yet support tables that span multiple pages. This feature is coming soon stay tuned. Until then did you try out the Form Recognizer invoice service ? It should extract the line items from both pages. Another option is to split the document to its pages and then send it to the custom model and see if it extracts the table from both pages.
