FAQs About UPDF AI (The SciSpace Alternative)

1. What is TSV format and why is it useful for Excel?

TSV stands for Tab-Separated Values. Each row of data is on a new line, and each column is separated by a tab character. When you paste TSV data into Excel, Excel automatically splits the data into columns based on the tab characters — no manual formatting needed.

2. How do I extract a table that spans multiple pages?

Simply ask UPDF AI to extract the table and specify that it spans multiple pages. UPDF AI "reads" pages like a human and reconstructs multi-page tables into a single, coherent table.

3. Can I extract tables from multiple PDFs at once?

Yes. UPDF AI supports batch processing. You can upload multiple PDFs and ask the AI to extract tables from all of them simultaneously.

4. How accurate is UPDF AI's table extraction?

UPDF AI uses advanced AI models (ChatGPT-5 and DeepSeek R1) combined with OCR technology to achieve industry-leading accuracy. It understands context, not just characters — ensuring extracted data is contextually accurate.

5. Can I extract specific columns or rows instead of the entire table?

Yes. In your prompt, specify exactly what you need. For example: "Extract only the 'Revenue' and 'Growth Rate' columns from the table on page 2."
