Legacy manual problem
Your parts data may already exist, but it is trapped inside PDFs.
PDF manuals are useful documents, but poor interactive workflows. They contain valuable diagrams, callouts, part numbers, BOM tables, and service context that customers, dealers, support teams, and ecommerce systems cannot easily use.
Customers cannot click diagram callouts in static manuals.
Dealers compare callout numbers with BOM tables by hand.
Support teams search PDFs on behalf of customers.
Ecommerce systems cannot use static diagrams directly.
PDF tables need extraction, review, and catalog mapping.
Large archives are too slow to rebuild manually.
Old manuals often contain legacy or replaced part numbers.
Static pages do not connect naturally to quote, cart, or dealer workflows.
Conversion workflow
From PDF manual to reviewed catalog asset.
PDF conversion is a controlled migration path. Pages are processed, reviewed, corrected, promoted, and then moved into the interactive diagram workflow.
02
Classify useful pages
Separate schematic, BOM, combined, and other pages so teams can focus review on catalog-relevant material.
03
Render pages for review
Turn relevant manual pages into reviewable visual assets for crop, layout, callout, and extraction workflows.
04
Detect callouts
Use AI-assisted image processing to detect diagram callouts and visual references where available.
05
Extract usable parts data
Extract BOM rows, reference numbers, part numbers, descriptions, quantities, and related part data for review.
06
Review and correct
Confirm page type, inspect extracted rows, adjust crop and BOM regions, and correct results before promotion.
07
Promote into schematics
Move reviewed pages into the schematic workflow where number detection and part matching can continue.
08
Publish catalog experiences
Use reviewed schematics and parts in interactive diagrams, collections, dealer workspaces, embeds, and handoff workflows.
Reviewable, not black-box
Keep humans in control before publishing.
PDF catalogs vary. Some are clean digital exports. Others are scans, mixed-layout pages, or old manuals with inconsistent tables. PartGrid is designed around review so teams can inspect page types, adjust regions, review rows, link parts, and decide what should become customer-facing.
Page classification
Identify schematic, BOM, combined, and other pages so irrelevant manual content does not slow the catalog workflow.
Crop and BOM regions
Focus processing on the diagram and table areas that matter, then adjust regions and re-extract where needed.
Extracted row review
Inspect reference numbers, part numbers, descriptions, quantities, confidence, and matching state before using results.
Link or create parts
Match extracted rows to existing part records or create new part records from reviewed rows where appropriate.
Repeated layouts
Speed up repeated catalog layouts with bulk tools.
Large manuals often repeat the same diagram and BOM layout across many pages. Bulk crop, BOM layout, promotion, and part creation workflows help teams reduce repetitive review work while keeping control over the final catalog.
Apply the same diagram crop to selected pages.
Apply the same BOM layout region across repeated pages.
Promote multiple reviewed pages into schematics.
Create missing parts from reviewed BOM rows where configured.
Queue detection after reviewed pages become schematics.
Use AI-assisted processing to speed up catalog migration.
PartGrid can help detect callouts, recognize visual references, extract usable parts data, and prepare pages for review. That helps teams move faster than rebuilding every diagram and table manually.
AI-assisted migration, not guaranteed one-click perfection.
Conversion quality depends on the source PDF, scan quality, image resolution, page layout, table consistency, language, diagram complexity, and available part data. Review remains important before publishing.
Published catalog path
Move from legacy manuals to embedded parts experiences.
PDF conversion is one step in a larger modernization workflow. Once pages are promoted into schematics and parts are linked, teams can publish the result into customer, dealer, ecommerce, quote, and support workflows.
Interactive parts diagrams
Searchable parts lists
Embeddable catalog collections
Dealer workspaces
Customer portals
Quote and cart workflows
Ecommerce integrations where supported
Internal support and service workflows
Source quality
The best next step is a representative manual.
PDF manuals vary widely. A pilot on one real manual or product line is the most useful way to understand expected review effort, extraction quality, and promotion workflow for your catalog source material.
