About this PDF to Excel converter

Pro tips for accurate table extraction

  • If the output looks jumbled, try limiting the Pages range.

PDF to Excel — FAQs

How accurate is the PDF to Excel conversion?

Accuracy depends on the table structure and scan quality. Limit pages or use Area for best results.

What’s the difference between lattice and stream?

Both are handled automatically. Ruled tables (lattice) and whitespace-aligned tables (stream) are detected without manual selection.

Can I convert only specific pages?

Yes. Use the “Pages” option (e.g., 1, 1-3, 1,3,5) to extract only what you need.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Transfers use HTTPS and files are processed temporarily, then removed automatically. See our Security page.

What are the free usage limits?

Free users can convert up to 100 files per day and 500 per month per IP. Upgrade in Pricing for unlimited conversions.
