PDF to Excel

Upload a PDF and build a workbook from the text layer (row by baseline, columns by gaps). Each page is a sheet. No text layer returns an error—scans need OCR first. LibreOffice is not the importer. Complex layouts stay imperfect.

PDF to Excel uploads the PDF and builds a workbook from the text layer: same baseline is a row, a wide horizontal gap starts a column, and aligned left edges share a column. Each page is a sheet named Page 1, Page 2, and so on. No text layer returns HTTP 422 and no workbook—scans need OCR first. LibreOffice is not the importer. Complex layouts stay imperfect.

This tool is free to use.

Convert PDF to Excel

  1. Upload one PDF. The file is uploaded.
  2. Process. Same baseline is a row, a wide horizontal gap starts a column, and aligned left edges share a column.
  3. Download the workbook, or read the error when there is no text layer (422). A scan needs OCR first.

PDF to Excel FAQs

Is the file uploaded?

Yes. The PDF is uploaded for that request, then you download the workbook when extraction succeeds.

When is a workbook returned?

When the PDF has a text layer. Same baseline is a row, a wide horizontal gap starts a column, and aligned left edges share a column. One worksheet per page is named Page 1, Page 2, and so on. LibreOffice is not the importer.

What if the PDF is a scan?

A scan with no text layer returns HTTP 422 and no workbook. Run OCR PDF first, then convert. Complex layouts stay imperfect even when a workbook comes back.
