Case Study: Chuhse achieves streamlined PDF-to-structured-text extraction with Network Locum

CHUHSE Out of Hours Provider saves £60,000/year & finds GP in 37 seconds through Network Locum

A document-extraction service preparing to convert a business case study into structured plain text encountered a missing PDF and uncertainty about how the client wanted the output formatted. The main challenge was collecting the source file plus specific preferences (OCR for scanned pages, table formatting style, image/figure handling, inclusion of headers/footers/footnotes, and whether to split long outputs by page range).

The solution was a short checklist of targeted questions and an invitation to upload the PDF or a sample page: confirm OCR needs, choose a table format (pipes, aligned columns, or numbered lists), specify image and header/footer handling, and indicate pagination preferences. This upfront clarification streamlines processing, reduces rework, and ensures the final structured plain-text extraction matches the client’s formatting requirements.
