Move tables from a PDF into a spreadsheet
Extract tables from a PDF into an Excel file without retyping them. The converter works out the rows and columns from the position of the text and writes them to an .xlsx workbook, with numbers stored as numbers so you can add them up. Put each page on its own sheet or everything on a single sheet. It works on PDFs that contain real text; scanned tables need OCR first.
Good to know
Answers to common questions about PDF to Excel.
How are columns detected?
Columns are found from the gaps that run down the page between pieces of text. Clean tables such as statements, invoices and reports convert best.
Are numbers stored as numbers?
Yes. Plain numbers become numeric cells you can sum. Values such as phone numbers or codes with leading zeros stay as text.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. PDF to Excel runs inside your browser tab and your file never leaves your device. Close the tab and nothing remains.
