A file can be a single page (an image or a one-page PDF) or many pages (a multi-page PDF). Most of the time you don’t need to think about pages at all — anyformat handles them automatically. This page covers the two situations where they do come up.

Reviewing where a value came from

When you open a document, anyformat shows you the original alongside the extracted data, and highlights the exact spot on the page where each value was found. Each value also shows a confidence indicator — a quick signal of how sure anyformat is about it (see Analytics & quality for what confidence means). This is how you check why a value was extracted, not just what it is, and correct it if it’s wrong.

When a value spans multiple pages

The one time pages can trip you up is when a single thing is split across a page break — for example a table whose rows continue onto the next page, or a total that’s on a different page from its line items. anyformat usually stitches these together correctly. If a result looks wrong, open the document and check the highlighted source: it’ll show you which page the value came from, so you can spot whether something on a page boundary was missed.

A note on usage

Usage is counted per page, so a 10-page document counts as more than a 1-page one. See Usage & billing for details.
