FAQ
Does this work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. Pages are rendered as images and processed with PaddleOCR, 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.
