About PDF to Excel

Financial statements, invoices and reports arrive as PDFs, but the numbers inside them are only useful once they are in a spreadsheet where you can sort, total and chart them.

Column boundaries are detected from the spacing in the original document and written out as a spreadsheet file that opens in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc. Tables with clear columns convert most accurately; unusual layouts may need a little tidying.

A scanned page holds pixels rather than data, so there is nothing to extract from it. We report those pages rather than returning a misleading empty sheet.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of tables work best?

Tables with clear columns convert most accurately. Very irregular layouts may need tidying afterwards.

What file do I get?

A spreadsheet file that opens in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc.

What if my PDF is a scan?

A scanned page holds no table data, only pixels, so there is nothing to extract. Pages without usable text are reported back to you.

Does my file get uploaded?

Yes. Unlike most tools here, this conversion needs a server, so your PDF is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted, and deleted immediately afterwards. It is never stored or looked at.
