How to use PDF Tables to Excel & CSV
- Choose a PDF and go to the page with the table.
- Drag a rectangle around the table, then use Detect columns or move the red lines.
- Edit any cell in the grid; wrapped lines can be joined into one cell.
- Export Excel and CSV. Both downloads use the grid exactly as shown.
What to expect
A new file is created. Your original files are never modified.
- Text is grouped into rows by its position, so merged cells and tables with unusual alignment need manual fixes in the grid.
- Image-only pages need OCR, and recognised values can contain mistakes — review every cell.
- One table region at a time. Repeat for other pages and merge the files in Excel.
Frequently asked questions
Why do leading zeros survive?
The XLSX stores values such as 00123 as text. The CSV keeps the literal characters, but Excel may show them as numbers when it opens a CSV.
Are commas, quotes and line breaks handled in CSV?
Yes. Cells containing commas, quotes or line breaks are quoted correctly.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is processed by JavaScript in your browser. Only the website's own code and assets are downloaded, and you can check this in your browser's network panel.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Every tool works without sign-up or login.
Is it safe for confidential documents?
Files are processed locally in your browser and never uploaded. Close the tab or select Clear to release them from memory.
