Why convert PDF to Excel (XLSX)
Copying a table from a PDF viewer usually produces one long column or cells run together. A converter that measures where text sits on the page rebuilds the grid, so numbers land in the right cells and can be summed straight away.
Two detection strategies are used: ruled tables (visible lines) and whitespace-aligned tables (no lines, as in most statements). Each table becomes its own sheet, and the original page number is noted.
How it works
- Drop PDF file onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
- Adjust the options if you need to — the defaults suit most cases.

- Download the Excel (XLSX).
About the formats
PDF · Portable Document Format · .pdf
The fixed-layout document standard: looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, contracts and reports are shared as PDF.
- A PDF can contain vector text, embedded fonts, images, form fields, annotations and digital signatures.
- Scanned PDFs are just pictures of pages; they need OCR before the text can be searched or copied.
- PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008.
Excel (XLSX) · Microsoft Excel workbook · .xlsx
The current Excel format: multiple sheets, formulas, formatting, charts and pivot tables in one file.
- XLSX stores both the formula and its last computed value, so a converted CSV contains the values.
- Maximum 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns per sheet.
- XLSM is the same format with macros enabled.
