About This Tool

Stop the tedious task of manually re-typing data from PDF reports into spreadsheets. Our PDF to Excel converter utilizes advanced table recognition technology to identify grid layouts, rows, columns, and datasets within your PDF files. It intelligently extracts this information and exports it directly into a fully editable Microsoft Excel (`.xlsx`) workbook. This tool is a lifesaver for accountants, researchers, financial analysts, and administrators who regularly deal with bank statements, invoices, price lists, or inventory logs that are locked in PDF format. Instead of hours of data entry, get a clean, functional spreadsheet in seconds. It handles both simple grids and complex tables with merged cells, allowing you to immediately start analyzing your data using Excel formulas. This tool processes files locally in your browser whenever possible, ensuring your sensitive documents remain private and secure. Unlike many online PDF tools that upload your files to remote servers, we prioritize your data privacy. The tool handles large files efficiently and maintains the original quality of your PDFs without compression or degradation. Whether you're a student compiling research, a professional preparing reports, or a business managing contracts, this tool streamlines your PDF workflow. It eliminates the need for expensive Adobe Acrobat subscriptions while providing professional-grade results instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

It works best on native (digital) PDFs where text is selectable. For scanned images, accurate table extraction is extremely difficult without advanced OCR.

Will it combine multiple tables?

Yes, tables from different pages are typically organized into sequential rows. If the structure is complex, each page might be treated as a separate dataset.

Is the formatting kept?

We prioritize data accuracy (rows/columns) over styling. Fonts and cell colors may be simplified to ensure the spreadsheet is clean and usable for calculations.

Can I convert protected PDFs?

You must remove the open password (using our Unlock PDF tool) before converting.
