For
People processing repeated forms, invoices, or other PDFs
Worth noticing
Templates store region names, page numbers, and coordinates; filename identifiers can help match documents to the right template.

Field notes

The described workflow saves region names, page numbers, and coordinates in reusable templates, with JSON export and import for moving them. An optional identifier can match a template to a filename, falling back to the selected template when there is no match. The site says files and extracted text remain in browser memory and are cleared when the page is refreshed or closed.
