With Lato’s PDF to trip import feature, you can instantly convert a PDF itinerary into a fully editable trip with just one click. Instead of manually copying content, Lato automatically extracts trip details from your PDF and transforms them into structured elements such as accommodations, activities, and transportation. This guide explains how to upload your PDF, review the imported content, and optimise your trip for client-ready proposals.

What if the Import Fails?

Check file size - Ensure your file is under 10MB

Verify file type - Only PDF, DOC, DOCX, and TXT files are supported

Try a different format - If PDF doesn't work, try saving as DOCX or TXT

What if Information is Missing?

Review the original document - Ensure all details are clearly visible

Check document quality - Poor scans or unclear text may cause issues

Try manual editing - You can always add missing details after import
