About the PDF to Excel Tool
The PDF to Excel tool helps you convert text from a PDF into an editable spreadsheet. It is useful when you need to review PDF rows in Excel, copy information into a workbook, or extract simple table-like data from a digital PDF.
How to use PDF to Excel
- Upload a PDF that contains selectable text.
- Adjust the row grouping tolerance if rows are splitting incorrectly.
- Optionally choose a target: all tables, selected table numbers, raw extract only, or a page range.
- Click Convert PDF to Excel.
- Review the preview table.
- Download the Excel file and clean up the layout if needed.
Important note
This tool does not perform OCR. If your PDF is a scanned image, the text may not extract. For best results, use clear digital PDFs with selectable text. Very complex tables, multi-column layouts and statements may require manual review after export. The target table option works best when the PDF contains visible table titles such as Table 1, Table 2 or Table 5.
