Customer wants to know whether Document Intelligence Custom extraction will support .docx files.

If this forum is not the proper place to post this question then how can I get a Roadmap for Document Intelligence features?

    Hi System Administrator

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!

    Currently, Document Intelligence does not support Microsoft Office files, including .docx, for Custom Extraction. The supported file formats are primarily PDFs and images (JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, HEIF). Workaround will be converting all docx file to .pdf files using python libraries (python-docx, pdfkit) as pdfs are compatible with custom extraction. There is no indication in the available context that Microsoft Office document support will be added in the future. However, you can keep an eye on the whats-new

    Kindly refer below link: custom-model

    Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
