Smart document tools

Extraction, checking and question-answering for when converting a file is not enough.

A PDF has no tables in it — only text positioned on a page. Converting to Excel means detecting where the table structure is, from ruling lines and column alignment, and rebuilding it. That works well on ruled tables like invoices and statements, and less well on ones held together only by whitespace, so it tells you what it found rather than handing back an empty workbook.

How to convert PDF to Excel

  1. 1Open the PDF that contains the tables.
  2. 2Export as Excel — each detected table becomes its own sheet.
  3. 3Check the sheets against the original.
  4. 4Download the .xlsx.

Questions people ask

Why did it not find my table?

Table detection relies on ruling lines or clear column alignment. A table laid out purely with spaces, or one spanning a page break, may not be recognised. Nothing is guessed — if no structure is found, it says so.

Are formulas recovered?

No. A PDF stores the printed values, not the formulas that produced them.

What if a table spans several pages?

Each page's portion is detected separately, so you may get one sheet per page and need to join them.

Is the formatting kept?

Values and cell structure are kept; colours and fonts are not, because the point is usable data.
