    Trying to extract "any" data is always a bit difficult. At the end the purpose of doing this is to get that data into a structure, and that structure needs to be pre-defined.

    I suggest to try this with the new AI capabilities in Appian 23.2. It seems to be superior to the "old" IDP implementation.

    I just had a look at the new version, and you still have to predefine all fields.

    But again, even machine learning is not very good in guessing and trying to translate random data into a structure.

    Create the maximum number of columns in the tables that you can see near future can be utilized and train the IDP model using all possible files you having. In backend Appian uses google ML AI tool.
