About This Tool
Extract tabular data from PDF documents and convert it into Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx). Our tool uses intelligent text-position analysis to detect rows and columns in your PDF, grouping text by vertical and horizontal coordinates to reconstruct table structure. Each PDF page becomes a separate worksheet in the Excel file. The entire conversion runs 100% in your browser using pdfjs-dist and exceljs — your files are never uploaded to any server, keeping your financial reports, invoices, and data tables completely private.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does PDF to Excel conversion work?
The tool reads each page of your PDF and extracts all text elements along with their positions. It groups text items that share the same vertical position into rows, then sorts items within each row by horizontal position to detect columns. This reconstructed table data is written into an Excel workbook with one worksheet per page.
Will it preserve my table formatting?
The tool extracts text content and reconstructs the table structure based on text positions. Cell values are preserved accurately, and columns are auto-sized for readability. However, colors, borders, merged cells, and other visual formatting from the PDF are not transferred to the Excel file.
Can it handle multi-page PDFs?
Yes. Each page of your PDF becomes a separate worksheet in the Excel file (named "Page 1", "Page 2", etc.). Tables that span multiple pages will appear in their respective page worksheets.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The entire conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF file never leaves your device. The tool uses pdfjs-dist for text extraction and exceljs for Excel file creation — both run entirely client-side.
