Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will the Excel file look exactly like my PDF table?
Not always. This tool uses a heuristic approach to group text into cells based on its horizontal and vertical alignment. For simple, well-structured tables, the result can be very accurate. However, for complex tables with merged cells, nested tables, or irregular spacing, you may need to perform some manual cleanup in Excel after conversion.
Can it convert scanned PDFs or images of tables?
No. This tool relies on extracting digital text from the PDF. It does not have Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities, so it cannot read text from images or scanned documents.
