Extract Quality Inspection & Measurement Data
A quality inspection report is a list of measured characteristics checked against a nominal value, exactly the kind of structured comparison a spreadsheet handles well, once it is out of a scanned PDF. Datafromfile extracts each characteristic with its nominal, actual, and pass/fail result intact, and can deterministically confirm whether an actual value falls within a stated tolerance.

Frequently asked questions
- Can it verify pass/fail itself, or just extract what's written? Both: it extracts the report's own stated result, and when you also have a specification with a tolerance for the same characteristic, Datafromfile's deterministic checker can independently confirm whether the actual value is within range.
