How to find every date, amount and phone number in a PDF
By Toolverse Labs, makers of PDF Tools · · 2 min read
Quick answer
To find the dates and amounts in a PDF on Android, open PDF Tools, go to Tools → Find dates and amounts, choose the PDF and tap Find details. You get a list grouped by dates, amounts, phone numbers and e-mails.
When does the agreement start? How much is the deposit? Which number do you call? Long documents hide these facts in paragraphs. Find dates and amounts lists them for you.
Steps
- Go to Tools → Find dates and amounts and choose the PDF.
- Tap Find details.
- Read the list, grouped by dates and times, amounts, phone numbers and e-mails, each with its page and sentence.
- Tap a detail to copy it, or save the list as .txt or .csv for a spreadsheet.
Where it helps
- Rental agreements: start date, rent, deposit and notice period.
- Bills and invoices: due dates and totals.
- Notices and circulars: deadlines and contact numbers.
