Are there any examples of document data extraction using Appian RPA?

As the title says, I would like to be able to extract data from a pdf or word document using RPA. I know Appian has the IDP app, however that requires google AI and a different setup. 

What I want to do is extract data from a PDF document, such as an invoice, and input the data into an excel document. Is this possible with RPA? If so, does anyone have any examples?

    Appian's document extraction tools are the best tools to use and they don't require Google AI, Appian has Native AI https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/selecting-a-document.html#which-vendor-is-best-for-my-documents?

    You can utilize the upload document RPA methods to move a document from a resource to Appian before processing.
