Extract a table from PDF
You need the data from a PDF table — not the whole document, not as an image, but as actual rows and columns you can analyse.
Real cells. Real columns. Real numbers — not pasted blobs.
Why this works
Our table extractor identifies tabular regions automatically, exports each table as Excel (.xlsx) or CSV, and stitches multi-page tables back together where rows continue across page breaks.

Common questions
Does it handle scanned tables?
Yes — OCR runs automatically when text isn't selectable. Accuracy depends on scan quality.
What about merged cells?
Merged cells are detected and represented as merged ranges in the .xlsx output.
Are formulas calculated?
No — only the values are extracted. Formulas don't exist in the PDF, so they can't be recovered.
