Import Questions from Images/PDF Documents (optional)

You can import any PNG image or PDF document as a new template.  This function uses Amazon Textract for parsing documents. The file should be no more than 10 pages long and its size less than 10 MB. See also the limitations of the service, such as supported languages. For information on completing the Questionnaire Wizard, see https://docs.resco.net/wiki/Questionnaire_Designer.

You can convert up to 200 pages for free. If you need more, set up an AWS account and activate Textract; you can then enter your Amazon credentials in the Questionnaire Designer. If you will be purchasing a license, you will need Analyze Document API for pages with tables and forms. The price per analyzed page (for the 1st million pages) is: $0.015 + $0.05 = $0.065.
