PDF to Excel

Tables locked in a PDF are useless for analysis. Manually retyping rows is slow and error-prone, and copy-paste usually flattens tables into a single cell.

Why this works

Our PDF-to-Excel converter detects table boundaries automatically and writes a proper .xlsx with rows, columns and number formatting preserved. Multi-page tables are stitched together where possible.

Common questions

Does this work for scanned PDFs?

Run OCR first using our OCR tool, then convert the OCR output. Direct scan-to-Excel is on the Pro tier.

Will currency and dates format right?

Numbers are detected and formatted as numbers. Locale formatting (€ vs $) follows the source document.
