PDF to Excel Converter
Move PDF text into a spreadsheet, with columns you can check first.
Extract selectable text into columns, check the preview, then download. For scans, use Read a scanned table below: choose Document language, then Recognize selected pages and correct the cells. Text PDFs support up to 50 MB and 100 pages; scan recognition supports up to 25 MB.
Review PDF rows and columns before exporting to Excel
Convert PDF to Excel when you need to review a table in a spreadsheet. This PDF to XLSX workflow lets you check the cells before saving. Review and edit cells, exclude titles and footers, and adjust column dividers when dates or amounts land in the wrong place. Keep pages in separate sheets or combine matching table pages.
The workbook stores values as text. That protects identifiers such as 00123 and avoids guessing whether a date means September 1 or January 9. After checking the source, convert the amount columns to numbers in Excel before calculating totals. Original spreadsheet formulas, charts and styles are not recovered. You can specify merged cell ranges after reviewing the text.
Treat the preview as a starting point. Correct wrapped rows and unrelated tables manually. When combining pages, exact repeated headers can be removed; different headings remain for review. Check totals and row counts against the original.
For scans, recognize selected pages here using the document language, then compare recognized digits with the original. For a database or application that requires a delimited text file, choose CSV. Separate pages download in a ZIP, while a combined table downloads as one CSV.
Best for: People checking invoice line items, simple reports or lists before importing them into Excel or another spreadsheet.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert PDF to Excel without an account?
Yes. Choose a PDF with selectable text, check the column preview and download XLSX for free. The document stays in your browser.
Why are numbers stored as text in Excel?
The tool avoids guessing data types so leading zeros, date formats and identifiers stay intact. Check each amount against the PDF, then convert the intended numeric columns in Excel before calculating.
Will I get editable tables and formulas?
XLSX cells are editable. You can correct values and specify merged ranges before export. PDF text is grouped by position, so check suggested columns and complex tables. Original spreadsheet formulas and styles are not recreated.
Can I convert a scanned bank statement or invoice?
Use Read a scanned table and select the document language. Recognize the selected pages, then correct cells. Check every date, minus sign, amount and total; OCR does not guarantee correct numbers or table structure.
Can I combine a table spread across PDF pages?
Yes. Choose to combine table pages and optionally remove exact matching header rows. Keep different headings for review. Check column consistency, totals and row counts before using the combined table.
How can I fix columns before downloading?
Enter column divider positions as percentages from the visible page’s left edge, choose a table area, and update the preview. These settings apply to every selected page; process pages separately if their layouts differ.
Can I save CSV instead of XLSX?
Yes. Choose CSV in File format and select a comma, semicolon or tab separator. A combined table or single page downloads as CSV; separate pages download in a ZIP. Formula-like CSV values receive a leading apostrophe.
