Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PDF to Excel for free?
Upload your PDF — the tool detects and extracts all tables, outputting them as an editable .xlsx file you can open in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
Does the converter extract all tables from the PDF?
Yes. All tables detected in the PDF are extracted to separate sheets or rows in the output Excel file, maintaining row and column structure.
What if my PDF has no tables — just columns of data?
The converter detects columnar data structures too. Even data formatted as spaced columns (not formal table borders) is often extracted correctly.
Can I convert a scanned PDF with tables to Excel?
Yes — the tool runs OCR on scanned documents to recognise table structure before conversion. Accuracy depends on scan quality and table complexity.
Why are some cells merged incorrectly in the Excel output?
Complex table structures (multi-header, nested tables, spanning cells) can sometimes be imperfectly extracted. Minor manual cleanup in Excel is normal for complex PDFs.
How do I extract data from a bank statement PDF to Excel?
Upload the bank statement PDF — the table extractor identifies transaction rows and column headers. Download the .xlsx file and the data is immediately available for sorting and analysis.
