How to convert an invoice
-
Upload the invoice
PDF, scan, or photo, one page or twelve. Multi-page invoices read as one document, and a single drop takes up to 20 files.
-
We extract the header and line items
Vendor, invoice number, dates, and totals from the header. Description, quantity, unit price, and amount from every line. Subtotal plus tax must equal the total, or the invoice is flagged.
-
Download the line-item CSV
One row per line item, ready for Excel or Google Sheets, or post the invoice into QuickBooks as a balanced journal entry.

The header is read wherever it prints
Vendor block top left, invoice number top right, dates in the middle: every template is different. LedgerBox reads fields, not positions, so any layout converts without setup.
Line items keep their shape
Description, quantity, unit price, and amount land in separate columns, one row per line. A line item split across a page break is stitched back into a single row.
Totals are checked, not assumed
Subtotal plus tax must equal the invoice total within a cent. When the numbers do not add up, the invoice comes back flagged for review instead of exported quietly.
Multi-page invoices
The vendor block is read from the first page and the totals from the last, so carried-forward subtotals are not double counted. Each page is read on its own, then merged, so a 12-page invoice converts the same way as a single page.
Invoice extraction FAQ
How do I extract data from a PDF invoice?
Create a free LedgerBox account, upload the invoice, and download the line-item CSV. The free trial includes enough pages to try a stack of invoices, and no credit card is required.
Which fields are extracted from an invoice?
Eight header fields: vendor name, invoice number, invoice date, due date, subtotal, tax, total, and currency. Plus every line item with description, quantity, unit price, and amount.
Does it work with scanned or photographed invoices?
Yes. LedgerBox runs OCR-backed extraction, so image-based PDFs, scans, and phone photos convert the same way as digital invoices. Any line it cannot read with confidence comes back flagged.
Can I get invoices into QuickBooks?
Yes. An extracted invoice can be posted to QuickBooks as a balanced journal entry, or downloaded as a CSV with one row per line item.
Is my invoice data secure?
Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed in isolated storage, and never used to train models. You can delete uploaded documents at any time and they are permanently removed.
