Does it extract all tables from the file?

Yes, all detected tables from all PDF pages are extracted. Each table is placed in a separate worksheet or the same sheet depending on structure.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Scanned files need OCR first. Use the OCR tool to convert images to searchable text, then convert to Excel.

Does it preserve formulas?

No, PDF files don't contain formulas — only final values. Extracted cells contain values only, not formulas.

How accurate is financial data extraction?

With clear regular tables: 95-99% accuracy. We always recommend reviewing important numbers and totals after conversion to ensure full accuracy.

Can I open the file in Google Sheets?

Yes, XLSX files are compatible with Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, and any program supporting XLSX format.

Tips & Best Practices

💡If PDF contains table images (scanned) not text: use OCR tool first then convert to Excel.
💡Tables with clear borders convert more accurately than borderless tables.
💡After conversion, check number formats — some cells may need changing from "text" to "number".
💡For financial reports: verify column totals after conversion to ensure extraction accuracy.
💡If file contains charts: they won't be converted — only text tables are extracted.
