Why not just read the tender in a PDF viewer?

Viewers show text; bid work needs to search, copy and quote it at scale. Extracted text makes compliance matrices and responses fast.

Does it keep the clause numbering?

Yes — the text extracts in reading order with its numbering, which is what clause references rely on.

What about scanned tender documents?

Free OCR first, then extract — proofread any clause you quote formally.

Can it pull just the tables?

Tables are the Tender Table Extractor's job; this tool delivers the prose.

Why bid teams extract the text

Compliance matrices quote requirement clauses verbatim; bid responses reference section numbers; reviewers search for every occurrence of "shall". All of that works on extracted text and crawls in a PDF viewer.

Hundreds of pages, one pass

Tender volumes run long — conditions, specifications, annexures. Extraction hands you the complete text in reading order, ready for the search-and-quote workflow of serious bidding.

Scanned tender volumes

Government tenders often circulate as scans. Run free OCR first to give them text, then extract — and proofread quoted clauses against the source. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically — there is no general cloud storage.
