How well does it extract tables?

PDFs with clearly structured tables (grid lines, consistent columns) convert best. The engine detects table boundaries and maps data to spreadsheet cells. Complex multi-table layouts may need manual adjustment.

What about PDFs without tables?

Text-only PDFs will still convert — the text is placed into cells. However, the tool is most useful for PDFs with tabular data like invoices, financial reports, and data exports.

Does it preserve formulas?

No. PDFs do not contain formula information — only displayed values. The XLSX will contain the visible text/numbers as static values, not formulas.

What about scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs (image-only) cannot be converted to Excel directly. You need OCR first to extract the text. Try our PDF OCR tool, then convert the result.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes, the maximum file size is 50MB. Most documents are well under this limit. Large files may take up to 30 seconds to convert.

Are my files stored on your server?

No. Files are processed in a temporary directory and deleted immediately after conversion. We do not store, read, or analyze your documents.

Can I convert password-protected PDFs?

Currently, password-protected PDFs are not supported. Remove the password protection first, then upload for conversion.

What spreadsheet apps can open the output?

The .xlsx output works with Microsoft Excel (2007+), Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, Apple Numbers, WPS Office, and any app supporting the OOXML format.
