Why Multi-Page Document Support Matters for Small Businesses

The Multi-Page Problem

Most small businesses don't deal with single-page documents. A typical vendor invoice might be 3-5 pages of line items. A contract runs 10-20 pages. A financial report can hit 50+. And most basic extraction tools either can't handle multi-page files at all, or they process each page separately and lose the connections between them.

That's a big problem when your invoice total is on page 4 but the line items started on page 1. Splitting a document into individual pages destroys the context that makes the data meaningful.

How We're Building It Differently

With Siftly, a multi-page document gets processed as a single unit. Upload a 10-page invoice, and the AI reads the entire thing as one document, maintaining data relationships across pages. Line items that span pages merge into one continuous table. Contract terms get pulled from wherever they appear, page 1 or page 15.

This is something we thought about from day one. Not as an afterthought or a premium add-on, but as a core part of how the extraction works.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will page counting work?

Multi-page documents will count toward your plan's page limit based on actual page count. A 5-page invoice uses 5 pages from your allowance. Straightforward and fair.

Will tables spanning multiple pages merge correctly?

Yes. The AI recognizes when a table continues across pages: repeated headers, continued line numbering, and the total row on the final page all get merged into one continuous table.

What about contracts with key terms on different pages?

The AI processes the entire document as one unit. It finds the effective date on page 1, payment terms on page 3, and the signature on page 10, all in a single extraction.

Will there be a page limit per document?

We're building Siftly to handle whatever you throw at it. Long documents shouldn't require workarounds.
