How to convert PDF to Excel
- Add one or more PDF files that contain tables.
- Choose one sheet per table or a single sheet, and whether to find tables without lines.
- Click Convert to Excel and download the XLSX file.
Bank statements, supplier invoices, price lists, payroll reports or exam results often arrive as PDF when you really need to add them up, filter them or match them in Excel. The tool finds the tables on each page and copies them row by row into an XLSX workbook. Numbers become real numeric values (decimal commas such as 1 250,50 included), so your formulas work straight away.
With “On its own sheet”, each table gets a tab named after its page. Choose “All on one sheet” to chain every table together, for example the pages of one long statement, with a page marker between them. “Also find tables without lines” detects tables that are aligned only with spaces, which is common in bank statements.
The tool works on PDFs that contain real text. For a scanned document, run it through OCR first. Always check the totals after converting. Files are deleted after 30 minutes.
