The receipts arrived as a 200-page PDF. The VAT return is Friday.
Pileform turns that PDF into one Excel workbook per supplier. Per-line VAT, Adjustment column, receipts embedded as proof. Drop it now, get the workbook back while you brief the next client.
It is Tuesday. The VAT return is Friday. The client just sent the receipts as a single 200-page PDF where every page is a different shop. McDonald’s Malaysia, a Cyprus supermarket, a UK Uber receipt, a handwritten taxi slip from Lebanon. The accounting firm has a choice: spend a day typing it line by line, or push back on the client and risk filing late.
Pileform was built for exactly this Tuesday. Drop the PDF, get a workbook back in minutes, post it Wednesday morning.
Four steps. No preprocessing required.
You drop the file your client emailed. We do not need you to split it, deskew it, reorder it, or rename it. The pipeline takes the PDF as-is.
Drop the PDF.
Up to 1,000 pages per upload. Mixed-language, mixed-currency, mixed-supplier. We accept it as-is.
Every line read.
Supplier, VAT number, date, line items, rate per line, totals, currency, payment method. Per page, in parallel, with the hard ones retried automatically.
Grouped by supplier.
Forty-seven Petrolina receipts collapse into one tab. Mixed-rate Alphamega receipts keep their per-line rate. The Summary tab gives you the VAT control totals at a glance.
One .xlsx in your inbox.
A single Excel workbook, supplier tabs alphabetical, original receipts embedded inline as audit proof. Post it to Xero or QuickBooks in a click, or keep the Excel. We do not lock you in.
Built for batch quarter-end, not continuous capture.
We are not trying to replace Adobe Acrobat or your PDF tooling. We are trying to fix the day before VAT returns.
Quarter-end PDF questions.
A typical 200-page Cyprus client PDF processes in roughly 12 minutes. Pileform runs pages in parallel, retries the hard ones automatically, and emails you when the workbook is ready. Bigger batches (500 pages, 1,000 pages) finish overnight; we have no upper limit.
A single .xlsx file. The Summary tab lists every supplier with the VAT control totals. Each supplier gets its own tab with line-by-line data, the Adjustment column, and the original receipt image embedded inline. Drop it in your Drive, post it to Xero or QuickBooks, or print it. No proprietary format, no lock-in.
Pileform reads 11 languages out of the box: Greek, English, Malay, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, and Arabic. A boutique hotel’s Q1 PDF with a UK Booking.com invoice (GBP), a Cyprus supermarket ticket (EUR), and a Lebanon airport taxi receipt (USD) all come through the same pipeline. Currencies stay original; VAT phrasing in each language is read natively.
Pileform classifies every page. Receipts and invoices get extracted. Non-receipt pages (bank statements, summary letters, blank scans, cover sheets) are surfaced on the Summary tab as “skipped” with a one-line reason, so you know nothing was lost. Re-running a skipped page later is one click.
You can, but you do not have to. Pileform groups by supplier automatically. Forty-seven fuel receipts collapse into one Petrolina tab with a supplier-level VAT total. That tab is the unit your accounting software expects, so you can post straight from it without slicing a mega-CSV by supplier in Excel.
