Multiple invoices in one file

Question

In my use-case, when performing batch processing of invoices, there's a chance that mutiple invoices might be included in the same file.

It appears that each file processed is treated as a single invoice. Is there a way to get an output with the content of each invoice within a specific file?

I tried looking at the Splitter processor but it appears to just give metadata on each split page.

Answer 1

You will need to split the source document file to include one invoice per file, then you can send the files to Document AI for Batch Processing.

You can use the Procurement Document Splitter & Classifier processor to identify split points. (Information on handling the processing response)

Then you can use the identified split points to create new pdfs with one invoice per file. You can do this with multiple libraries that work with PDFs, and you can use the Document AI Toolbox SDK which has a built in function for splitting a PDF file after processing by a Splitter/Classifier Processor.
