How to use PDF to Excel

Use clearly separated, selectable-text tables for the best chance of useful spreadsheet rows and columns.

  2. Choose whether to fall back to text rows if no table is detected.
  3. Download the XLSX workbook and inspect the extracted cells.

Questions about PDF to Excel

Can it read a scanned table directly?

This tool reads existing selectable content. Recognize scanned pages with OCR first.

Are complex tables guaranteed to match?

No. Merged cells, irregular borders and multiple reading orders can require manual cleanup.
