PDF to Airtable

By Angel Campa, Founder · Updated March 2026 · Saves 2–4 hours per lease setup

The Problem

Tenant representatives and small operations teams use Airtable to track lease portfolios but have no structured way to get lease data out of PDFs and into an Airtable base. Manual entry across dozens of fields per lease creates an inconsistent database that is unreliable for portfolio reporting.

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. 1
    Upload lease PDF to LextractSource

    Upload the executed lease PDF. Lextract accepts both single-document leases and multi-exhibit packages.

  2. 2
    Extract 125+ structured fieldsLextract

    Lextract extracts all lease fields including tenant name, premises, rent schedule, escalations, options, and critical dates.

  3. 3
    Download CSV exportLextract

    Download the extraction as a CSV with field names matching standard CRE terminology. CSV imports directly into Airtable bases.

  4. 4
    Import CSV into Airtable baseDestination

    Use Airtable's CSV import feature to add the extracted fields as a new record in your lease portfolio base. Map each column to your existing Airtable fields.

  5. 5
    Link to tenant and property recordsDestination

    After import, link the new lease record to the relevant tenant and property records in your Airtable base to enable portfolio-level views and rollups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the fields imported into Airtable?

Yes. The Lextract CSV export contains all 125+ fields. During Airtable import you can choose which columns to map to your existing base fields and skip any fields your workflow does not need.

Can Lextract update existing Airtable records?
