When to use this tool

Upload a PDF containing clear tables and extract them into an XLSX workbook. Inspect the generated sheets before calculating anything.

A practical example

Extract a ruled price table and compare the first and last rows with the source.

Check the exported result

Check merged cells, decimal separators, negative values, units and totals.

Common problems and limits

Unruled tables, scanned pages and multi-column layouts may be detected incorrectly. OCR recognition alone does not guarantee table structure.

Choose the next step

PDF to Text may be easier when the source has a list rather than a real table.

Files, privacy and saving

This workflow uses temporary server processing after your consent. Review the upload notice and avoid processing material you are not authorised to use. Keep your original, review the downloaded result and choose a clear filename before sharing it. The privacy policy explains the processing approach.
