PRODUCT UPDATES

Release notes

Changes to the Linework converter and website. Processing still runs in your browser. No account is required.

· Website

Homepage is the toolkit

  • The site introduction, with the current tools, is now at linework.live.
  • The PDF tables to Excel converter lives at /converter/.
  • /tools/ redirects to the homepage so older links still work.

· Toolkit

PDF editor and tools hub

  • Linework now has a toolkit page and a first PDF editor.
  • The editor can add text, images, whiteout, highlights, rectangles, drawings and a signature, and can rotate or delete pages.
  • Edit text lets you change selectable words. The original is covered and redrawn in Helvetica. That is not a perfect in-place font rewrite, and scans have no text to click.
  • Editing stays in the browser. Whiteout is a cover, not secure redaction.

· Converter

Check all valid rows, and a data-responsibility notice

  • You can mark every valid row as checked in one step, or clear all checks. Rows with invalid prices or missing product details stay unchecked until you correct or remove them.
  • Export still requires every remaining row to be marked checked.
  • The converter now states that you are responsible for verifying exported data against the original PDF. Linework does not guarantee accuracy.

· Website

Guides, landing pages and local-processing docs

  • Added crawlable pages for how Linework works, use cases, privacy, and PDF conversion guides.
  • Added dedicated pages for supplier price lists, catalogues, scanned PDFs, and conversion without uploading the file for processing.
  • Added a worked price list example using the sample PDF.
  • Excel export library now loads only when you download a spreadsheet, so the first page load stays lighter.
  • Site navigation and footer now link to these pages. The converter on the homepage is unchanged.

· Public site

linework.live

  • Published the converter at linework.live as a static site.
  • PDF reading, English OCR and Excel export continue to run in the browser. Document contents are not uploaded to Linework for processing.

· Converter

First public converter

The first version of the product-table workflow:

  • Extract structured product rows from text PDFs and English scanned pages.
  • Automatic OCR on pages with little selectable text, or OCR on every page.
  • Header selection, column mapping, decimal comma or decimal point, and a default currency.
  • Row review, merge of wrapped descriptions, validation, and XLSX export with product codes as text.
  • Cancel and re-read without replacing a previous document until a run finishes.
  • Limits: 15 MB, 50 pages, 20 OCR pages, 3,000 candidate rows.

Not in this version

A business API, enterprise review workflows and batch conversion of several PDFs are planned. They are listed under Coming soon on the converter page and are not available yet.
