Upload PDF files to Trustana and let our AI automatically extract product data. This guide covers how to upload files and what happens behind the scenes.

🎯 What Are Files in Trustana?

Files (PDFs) are product documents like spec sheets, catalogs, or data sheets that contain valuable product information. When you upload a file, Trustana:

  1. Reads the content using advanced OCR technology

  2. Finds product identifiers (SKU, Product Model) on each page

  3. Matches pages to your products automatically

Once processed, you can extract product data from these files using AI.

πŸ” Step 1: Choose Where to Upload

You can upload files from three different places in Trustana:

Option A: From a Product Detail Page

  • Go to any product

  • Click the "Files" tab

  • Upload files directly linked to that product

Option B: From Digital Assets β†’ All Files

  • Click "Digital Assets" in the menu

  • Select "All Files"

  • Upload files that may contain multiple products

Option C: From Bulk Media Upload

  • Select products in the All Products table

  • Click "Bulk Media Upload"

  • Select a product in the left panel

  • Click the "Files" tab on the right panel

βœ… Step 2: Upload Your Files

  1. Click "Upload Files"

  2. A modal window appears

  3. Drag and drop your PDF files, or click to browse

  4. Click "Upload file" to start the upload

πŸ’‘ Tips for Best Results

To get the most accurate data extraction:

1. Use clean, well-structured files

  • Tables with clear headers work best

  • Avoid files with complex layouts or merged cells

2. Ensure identifiers are visible

  • SKU or Product Model should appear clearly on each page

  • These are used to match pages to your products

3. One-page product spec sheets are ideal

  • Single product per page = highest accuracy

  • Multi-product tables also work well

4. Avoid problematic formats

  • Don't merge multiple pages into one long page

  • Avoid files with excessive sub-headers within tables
