Sometimes the best PDF workflow is not uploading a PDF at all.
Nonlinear and DontUploadPDF solve opposite ends of the same office problem. If you can avoid collecting a PDF, use a better form/link workflow. If you already have scans and PDFs, use Nonlinear to extract structured information.
| Use DontUploadPDF when… | Use Nonlinear when… |
|---|---|
| You control the intake flow and can ask people for cleaner information up front. | You already received scans, receipts, invoices, forms, or PDFs and need to process them. |
| You want fewer attachments, fewer email chains, and cleaner submissions. | You want to reduce manual data entry from existing documents. |
| The work starts before a document is created. | The work starts after a document arrives. |
Business lesson: avoid messy documents when you can. Parse them well when you cannot.
