Will Appian's upcoming IDP Application support fillable PDFs document?
Last I checked with Google Support, and available Google OCR and Google Vision they do not support OCR on the fillable PDF field. The PDFs have to be externally flattened (lose the fillable fields) and then passed in order for Google OCR or Vision to extract entities from those fields. Will this be handled by the IDP application or this has to be handled outside the application. Also, if it has to be handled outside the IDP, what is the best way to convert fillable PDF to flat PDF? I didn't find any smart service in the Appian that readily does this.
Thank you.

Gavin - I have checked with Google Support and they confirmed that it is not currently supported. It is on their radar as a future feature requests.
Thank you, matthew.shutt. That answers my question. I was just curious if IDP handles that case too somehow and what all types of documents it will support. I can definitely look for such documents and handle them separately.
Also, at this point, I do not have a fillable PDF on hand that I can share. I will try to find one and share it asap.
Excited to have hands-on IDP Application.
Thanks.
