Files - anyformat

A file is the raw input — information without structure yet. Examples:

PDFs
Images and scans
Multi-page documents

anyformat reads files to understand text, layout, tables, and visual cues. You don’t need to configure OCR engines or preprocessing steps.

How files relate to workflows

Files aren’t run through workflows directly — they’re grouped into a document packet, and the packet is what the workflow runs on. Most of the time that packet holds a single file, so this distinction stays out of sight; it only surfaces when you deliberately bundle several files as one document.
