PDF to Excel
Get the tables in a PDF into an Excel spreadsheet. Rows and columns are worked out from where the text sits on the page, and numbers come through as numbers you can calculate with.

How to convert PDF to Excel
Open your PDF
Drop the file above or choose it. Type a page range if the tables are only on some pages.
Choose the layout
Put each page on its own sheet, or all pages on one. Leave Numbers as numbers on to calculate with the values.
Check and download
Press Convert to Excel, look over the table in the preview and download the .xlsx file.
How the tables are found
In a PDF, a table is just text placed in rows and columns. The converter puts text that shares a line into one row and finds the columns from the gaps that run down the page. Values such as 1,250.50 or 1.250,50 become numbers; codes with leading zeros stay text.
When it needs help
A cell that wraps onto two lines becomes two rows, and a heading that spans several columns can join them. Scanned pages have no text layer, so they come out empty; PDF to Word can read them with OCR. Pages without tables come through as one column of text lines.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. It's read and converted in your browser and never leaves your device.
Are formulas or formatting kept?
A PDF holds only the printed values, so there are no formulas to bring back. Fonts, colours and borders aren't copied either; you get the values in their rows and columns.
Why are some columns merged or split?
Columns are found from the gaps between text. A heading across two columns, or cells that touch, can merge columns, and a very wide gap inside a cell can split one. A few cuts and pastes in Excel fix it.
