PDF to iXBRL conversion FAQ

What file formats can I convert to iXBRL?
Doc2iXBRL accepts PDF, scanned PDF and Word annual reports. Upload your approved report and the platform extracts financial data, maps it to taxonomy concepts, and lets you review every XBRL tag before export.
Can I convert scanned PDF documents to iXBRL?
Yes. OCR is included for scanned PDFs. For best results, use a clear, legible scan; native PDFs and Word files generally produce the strongest extraction.
How long does PDF to iXBRL conversion take?
Most reports complete in 10–20 minutes, depending on length and complexity. The workflow covers extraction, concept mapping, iXBRL generation, and Arelle validation.
Can I review XBRL tags before exporting?
Yes. Every concept mapping, period, unit, decimal and extension decision is editable in the visual reviewer. Adjust values, add missing items, or override AI suggestions before you sign off and download.
Is the iXBRL output validated before download?
Yes. Each package is validated with Arelle against the applicable SBR Filing Rules or ESEF requirements. Issues are surfaced with guidance so you can fix them before export.
