The PDF Challenge

Your supplier sent a PDF.
Your tool told you to ask for a spreadsheet.

Download a real distributor catalog, spend thirty seconds putting it through the tool you use today, then compare it with what our parser pulled out of that exact same file.

  • About 2 minutes

We are not asking you to take our word for it. The evidence is produced on your machine.

  1. Step 01

    Download the catalog

    This is the file. The same one we ran, the same one you are about to run.

    Download the sample catalog · PDF

    PDF · 9 pages

    What is inside

    • A wholesale distributor catalog, laid out the way distributors actually lay them out.
    • Prices per case, not per unit.
    • Multipacks buried in the description text instead of sitting in a quantity column.
    • Barcodes whose leading zeros were eaten somewhere between the distributor and you.
  2. Step 02

    Upload it to the tool you use today

    Take 30 seconds. Open whatever you already use to work through supplier lists in bulk and hand it this file. We are deliberately not telling you what will happen — that is the whole point of the challenge.

    Four things worth writing down

    1. Does the tool take the file at all, or does it ask you for a CSV or an XLSX?
    2. If it takes it, how many product rows come back?
    3. Do the barcodes keep their leading zeros, or do they lose them again?
    4. Does the case price turn into a price per unit anywhere along the way?

    This page does not name, test or rank anyone else's software, and it makes no claim about what any other product does. It is one file and four questions. You run it, you answer them, you keep the result.

  3. Step 03

    What we pulled out of the same file

    These are the numbers our parser produced on the file above. Nothing is rounded in our favor, and the whole extraction is published as a CSV so you can check it against the PDF line by line.

    Audit it line by line against the PDF. If we got a row wrong, we would rather you were the one who found it.

Now do it with your own catalog

Our file was the demo. Yours is the point. Upload the PDF your distributor sent you this week and get the same extraction on your own products.

About this pageThe sample catalog is published for this challenge and carries no confidential data from any distributor or seller. The figures in step 3 come from a single run of our parser on that same file, and the complete output is linked above so that every one of them can be verified.
