### How Do I Handle Different Invoice Formats?

Invoice formats vary between vendors, but IronOCR provides flexible solutions:

1. **Template-based**: Define ___PROTECTED_LINK_54___
2. **Computer vision**: Use ___PROTECTED_LINK_55___ to locate text
3. **Table extraction**: Leverage ___PROTECTED_LINK_56___ for line items
4. **Multi-format**: Process ___PROTECTED_LINK_57___, ___PROTECTED_LINK_58___, and ___PROTECTED_LINK_59___

For complex layouts, implement the ___PROTECTED_LINK_60___ which uses machine learning to identify structures automatically.
