A table trapped inside a PDF — a scanned statement, a report appendix — usually means retyping it by hand. PDF to Excel reads the table structure directly off the page, including scanned documents, and exports it straight into an .xlsx spreadsheet.

Frequently asked questions about pdf to excel
Does this work on scanned PDFs, not just digital ones?
Yes — it reads text from scanned or photographed tables as well as PDFs that already have a text layer.
Will the columns line up correctly in Excel?
The conversion aims to preserve the original table's column and row structure, though very irregular or borderless tables may need minor cleanup.
Is there a file size limit?
PDFs up to 100MB are supported, since conversion runs on our server.
Are my files stored on your servers?
Files are processed for the conversion and then deleted — they aren't kept or reused.
