Evidence · first-party tested/Best AI Tools for Extracting Structured Data from PDFs and Business Documents
Preserves the requested nested statement hierarchy instead of flattening it, with separate metadata, account_holder, account, branch, balances, transactions, summary, and other top-level sections.
What was measured
Schema Adherence
Does the output follow the supplied JSON schema hierarchy exactly, with correct nesting, field names, and data types?
decisive for this rankingtransformation
If the output does not match the requested JSON schema exactly, the extracted data cannot be reliably consumed or queried, so this is core to the task. (3 of 3 judges)

Bank Statement PDF
A 4-page bank statement PDF with 51 transactions, balances, rewards, and disclaimer text, used to test schema-driven extraction of dense financial tables and multi-page continuity.
Why this input is hard
- · Table extraction across 50+ transaction rows
- · Multi-page continuity with BALANCE FORWARD bridges
- · Structured metadata vs. free-text transaction descriptions
- · Numerical accuracy for balances, deposits, withdrawals, and summaries
- · Nested schema population for account, branch, balances, rewards, and disclaimers

Extraction Accuracy✓ WorkedCopies header and balance values exactly, including the account holder block, account number, statement date, and the 114,453.65 opening / 116,149.46 closing balances.Extraction Accuracy✗ FailedDerives an incorrect summary transaction count, reporting 43 when the statement actually contains 51 rows.Semantic Field Enrichment✓ WorkedClassifies transaction_type correctly across the transaction array, using Deposit and Withdrawal labels rather than raw OCR text.Table & Record Completeness✓ WorkedKeeps the transaction table intact across all four pages, with the full 51-row record set present and no merged or dropped rows.

Datalab✓ WorkedMaps the bank statement into the requested nested JSON hierarchy instead of flattening it into OCR text, and preserves field-level citation metadata on the extracted objects.Extend AI✓ WorkedThe bank output is rebuilt as nested JSON rather than raw OCR, with branch, account, rewards, balances, summary, and metadata objects populated under the requested statement root.Landing AI✓ WorkedReconstructs the bank statement into the requested nested JSON hierarchy, with distinct statement.metadata, account_holder.address, account, branch, statement_period, and balances objects rather than flat OCR text.LlamaParse✓ WorkedKeeps a nested statement schema intact, emitting separate metadata, account_holder, account, branch, statement_period, balances, transactions, summary, rewards, and disclaimers objects instead of flattening the document.Nanonets✓ WorkedIt preserves the requested nested schema directly in the output, populating structured objects such as statement, account, balances, transactions, summary, rewards, and disclaimers instead of flattening the document into OCR text.Reducto✓ WorkedReconstructs the bank statement into a nested JSON structure aligned to the requested schema, with document metadata, account, branch, statement period, transactions, summary, and rewards-style sections instead of flat OCR text.Retab✓ WorkedReconstructs dense statement OCR into the requested nested JSON hierarchy, populating separate statement, account_holder, account, branch, balances, transactions, rewards, and disclaimers objects instead of flattening everything into text.
