PDF table extraction
PDF Table to Excel Converter
Extract tables from normal or scanned PDF pages and download an Excel workbook with one sheet per page.
Test representative PDF pages before extracting all tables
Use page numbers or ranges such as 1,3-5 to test difficult layouts, then verify totals, IDs, dates, decimals, and column order in the Excel workbook.
- Accepts one PDF up to 100 MB and 50 pages; encrypted or password-protected PDFs are rejected.
- Leave pages empty to process the whole PDF, or specify selected pages and choose the OCR language.
- Each processed page becomes a workbook sheet. Preview shows the first processed page and up to 20 rows; download XLSX and JSON for full review.
The PDF and generated XLSX and JSON are processed temporarily on the server. Default cleanup is 30 minutes and the processing timeout is ten minutes.
Most server file tools have a default 30-minute retention period. Expired files are removed by scheduled cleanup, so this is not an exact deletion timestamp.

FAQ
Does this work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. Pages are rendered as images and processed with OCR, so scanned tables can be extracted when the image is clear enough.
Will complex tables be perfect?
No. The first version creates a practical grid from OCR text positions. Merged cells, dense layouts, and rotated text may need manual cleanup in Excel.
Can I extract only selected pages?
Yes. Use page ranges such as 1,3-5 to limit processing and reduce wait time.
