Notice
This tool estimates table structure based on PDF text coordinates. Scanned PDFs, image-based PDFs, or documents with complex table lines may produce inaccurate results.
Leave this empty to analyze all pages. Enter a range when extracting only specific pages.
Choose Wide if columns are split too much. Choose Tight if separate columns are merged together.
Choose Wide if rows are split into too many lines. Choose Tight if multiple rows are merged into one.

Before Extracting
Accuracy is higher when table cells are aligned with consistent spacing in a text-based PDF.
For documents with multiple mixed tables or complex lines, preview page candidates before saving.

Help
When should I use PDF Excel Table Extractor?
Use this tool when you need to reuse table data from PDF reports, statements, estimates, statistics tables, or settlement sheets in Excel. Saving extracted data as CSV or XLSX makes it easier to edit in Excel or Google Sheets.
Text-based PDFs vs Scanned PDFs
This utility reads text and position information embedded inside the PDF to estimate table structure. It works better with selectable text PDFs, while image-only scanned PDFs may require OCR first.
How should I adjust column sensitivity?
If columns are split too much, choose the Wide option. If different columns are merged into one, choose the Tight option.
How should I adjust row sensitivity?
If one row is split into multiple lines, choose the Wide option. If multiple rows are merged into one, try the Tight option. The best value can vary depending on PDF line spacing and layout.
Should I download CSV or XLSX?
CSV is a universal format that can be opened by most programs. XLSX is more convenient when working directly in Excel. Use XLSX for spreadsheet editing and CSV for importing data into other systems.
FAQ
Can it extract tables from scanned PDFs?
Accuracy may be low. This tool is not OCR; it analyzes internal PDF text information. Image-only scanned PDFs may need OCR processing first.
The table is split into too many columns.
Try setting column spacing sensitivity to Wide and extract again. PDFs with narrow text spacing or dense numbers may work better with a wider setting.
Multiple rows are merged into one.
Try changing row spacing sensitivity to Tight. Tables with narrow row gaps may not be separated clearly with the default setting.
What does Use First Row as Header mean?
This option treats the first extracted row as column names. Keep it enabled if the first row is a title row, and disable it if the first row is actual data.
Is the uploaded PDF saved on the server?
This utility can analyze PDFs in the browser. In the normal usage flow, the selected PDF does not need to be stored on the server.
