PDF to Excel

Extract the text from a PDF into a real .xlsx spreadsheet file you can open in Excel, in your browser.

How to use PDF to Excel

  1. Choose a PDF file.
  2. Extract its text into a spreadsheet.
  3. Open the .xlsx file in Excel and check the columns before using it.

A good use for this

Turning a table trapped in a PDF into rows and columns you can sort, filter, and calculate with.

Limits

Only the text is extracted — scanned pages with no text layer yield nothing useful, and complex layouts may not land in neat columns. Always check the spreadsheet against the original.
