How do I convert a PDF table to Excel?
Add the PDF, check the preview and press Convert & Download. Each page becomes a sheet with its tables laid out in rows and columns.
Will numbers be usable in formulas?
Yes. Amounts such as $1,234.50, 12.5% and (42.00) are stored as numbers with matching formats, so SUM and other formulas work right away.
What happens to pages without tables?
Their text is listed on the sheet, one block per row, with a column describing each block, such as a heading or paragraph.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Scanned pages contain pictures, not text. Use OCR PDF, which recognizes the text and can export tables to Excel or CSV.
Can I put all tables on one sheet?
Each PDF page gets its own sheet, which keeps rows traceable to their page. You can copy them into one sheet in Excel afterwards.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Tables are detected and the workbook is built in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
