How to extract PDF tables into Excel
Pull table data out of a PDF so you can sort, filter, and calculate in a spreadsheet.
Statements and reports often lock numbers inside a PDF. PDF to Excel extracts text and table-like rows into a spreadsheet you can work with.
When Excel beats a PDF
Use it for totals, filters, and charts. Keep the PDF when you only need a printable record.
How to use it
- Open PDF to Excel and upload a PDF that contains clear tables.
- Run the conversion and wait for the job to finish.
- Rename if needed, then download the spreadsheet.
- Review the columns and clean up any merged cells if needed.
Tip: Clean, single-column tables convert more reliably than complex multi-header layouts.
