# Invoice PDFs to spreadsheet

Claude Code scanned 200 mixed-format PDF invoices, extracted client, amount, currency and date, renamed and sorted the files, and exported a summary spreadsheet.

Result: The author says 200 invoices were processed in four minutes with zero errors, replacing a Friday afternoon and a $300 Upwork job.

## How it was set up

Claude Code run in the terminal on a local folder of PDFs, driven by one plain-English prompt.

## Worth knowing

Self-reported by a newsletter author with no repo or demo; the rest of the guide is paywalled.

## Prompt

```text
Scan every PDF in [folder], extract the client name, invoice amount, currency and payment date, rename each file as [filename pattern], sort them into monthly subfolders, and export a summary spreadsheet.
```

## Evidence note
