Reprocess Documents

Work With Documents

Run extraction again after changing fields, settings, or document-routing rules

Reprocessing runs the original document through the parser again using its current fields and settings.

Use it when you changed the parser or when a temporary problem prevented extraction from finishing correctly.

When to reprocess

Reprocess a document after:

• Adding, removing, or renaming fields
• Changing a field description or type
• Changing table columns
• Correcting document-type, password, split, or extraction settings
• Adding credits after a credit-related failure
• Fixing a temporary processing problem

Do not reprocess only to correct one extracted value. Edit that value directly instead.

What reprocessing changes

• PARSER keeps the original uploaded file.
• Existing extracted values are replaced with a new extraction.
• The document moves through Queued and Processing again.
• You should review the result again.
• Processing consumes credits based on the document and the parser options currently enabled.
• If Markdown parsing is enabled and a valid Markdown file already exists, PARSER reuses it. The extra Markdown credit still applies. PARSER creates the file again if the stored object is missing.

See Credits and Billing to calculate the new charge before reprocessing a large batch.

If exports or approvals are configured, treat the reprocessed result as a new result that needs to complete the required workflow.

Reprocess one document

1. Open the document.

2. Open the document actions or More menu.

3. Click Re-process document.

4. Confirm if PARSER asks you to.

5. Wait for processing to finish.

6. Check the extracted fields and tables again.

The action may not be available while a document is Uploading, Queued, or actively Processing.

Reprocess several documents

1. In the document list, select the documents with their checkboxes.

2. Open Bulk Actions.

3. Click Reprocess.

4. Wait for the selected documents to complete.

Documents that are still Uploading, Queued, or Processing are skipped.

If reprocessing does not help

• Open the document and read the failure or skipped reason.
• Confirm that the file itself opens correctly.
• Check available credits.
• Check password rules for protected PDFs.
• Check document-type rules and classifier routes.
• Try one known-good file in the same parser to determine whether the problem is the file or the parser setup.

See Processing Failures for more help.
