Small property managers and tenant representatives use Google Sheets to track leases but must manually copy data from PDFs field by field. With no structured extraction, the sheet becomes stale or inaccurate, creating discrepancies between the source document and the working database.
Upload the executed lease PDF from your computer or a cloud storage link.
Lextract reads the PDF and extracts all 126 fields including all dates, rent schedule, CAM structure, and options.
Any field below the confidence threshold is highlighted. Review those values in the original PDF before exporting.
Export all extracted fields as a CSV file.
Use File > Import in Google Sheets to load the CSV. Each lease creates a new row in your master tracking sheet with all 126 fields as columns.
