Convert a PDF to Excel

Get the tables back

Where it runs: On the server.

Drop a file to begin.

This tool needs software that does not run in a browser. The file is sent over an encrypted connection, processed, then deleted automatically after two hours. Nobody reads it.

What this tool does

Detected tables are pulled into worksheets, one per page that holds data. A table with no rules and no regular alignment stays hard to recognise, so check the result.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if the document holds no table?
You get “no table detected”, not “processing failed”. The difference matters: the first tells you what to do next, the second leaves you guessing.
Why does my table come out badly split?
A table with no rules and no regular alignment is hard to recognise: the software infers the columns from where the words sit. Always check the result, especially columns of figures.
Are formulas recovered?
No, and no tool can: a PDF holds only the displayed result, never the calculation behind it. You get values, not formulas.
