About PDF to Excel

Pull simple PDF tables into a .xlsx file.

PDF to Excel reads each page's text and its position, then uses the alignment of that text to reconstruct rows and columns — one sheet per page. It works well on simple, grid-aligned tables (the text lines up cleanly into columns), but there's no real table-detection model behind it: a page mixing prose with a table, tables with merged cells or multi-line cell content, or tables that continue across pages can come back sparse or misaligned. Scanned (image-only) PDFs aren't supported — there's no text layer to read.
