Which extractor is most appropriate for processing documents that show little to no variation in their layout?
The Form Extractor is designed for non-variable format documents — that is, documents whose layout stays essentially the same each time. It works by applying pre-configured templates (defined at design time) and page-level anchors to locate and extract expected data fields, making it ideal when document structure is consistent, including printed or handwritten forms and signature detection. This is distinct from the Machine Learning Extractor and Generative Extractor, which are intended for documents with varying or unpredictable layouts.
