This tool reconstructs rows from selectable text positions. Scanned PDFs need OCR first, and complex tables may require cleanup.

Extract PDF text into Excel

Read selectable text positions from a PDF and reconstruct them into workbook rows, with a separate worksheet for every page.

Step by step

  1. Select a searchable PDF.
  2. Extract and group its text into rows.
  3. Download the XLSX and clean up complex tables if needed.

Common uses

  • Recover rows from a digital statement.
  • Move a simple PDF table into a spreadsheet.
  • Organize page text for further analysis.

Good to know

PDF does not store real spreadsheet cells. Results are inferred from text coordinates, so merged cells, multi-column layouts, and scanned pages may need manual cleanup or OCR.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a scanned table empty?

Scans contain pictures instead of selectable text and require OCR first.

Is the PDF uploaded?

No. Extraction and workbook creation happen locally.
