PDF to Excel

Extracts text by position and reconstructs rows and columns — works best on PDFs with clear table grids or aligned columns.

How this works: there's no server-side table-recognition AI here — this reads each PDF page's text positions and reconstructs rows from vertical alignment and columns from horizontal gaps. Clean, grid-based tables (bank statements, invoices, price lists) extract well. Complex nested tables or scanned/image PDFs won't — for scans, run PDF OCR first.

Frequently asked questions

Will this work on a scanned PDF?

No — scanned PDFs have no real text layer to extract from. Run PDF OCR first to get text, then work with that.

Why are some columns merged together?

The column-detection is based on the horizontal gap between text blocks. If two columns sit close together in the original PDF, they may be read as one — you can fix this manually after downloading.

Does this support multiple pages?

Yes — every page becomes its own sheet tab in the downloaded Excel file.
