How does PDF to Excel conversion work?

We extract X/Y coordinates of text items from each page and group them into rows and columns based on position, then map them to an Excel worksheet.

What if my PDF has multiple pages with tables?

Each page gets its own worksheet tab in the Excel file, keeping data organized by page.

Can it handle complex table layouts?

Simple and moderately complex tables convert well. Very complex layouts with merged cells or multi-column arrangements may need minor cleanup.

How to convert a PDF to Excel

We extract the X and Y coordinates of every text item, group them into rows by Y position, then cluster the X positions to detect column boundaries — turning visual tables back into structured spreadsheet cells.

Multi-page PDFs become multi-worksheet workbooks (one sheet per page). Works best for PDFs where tables are real text, not images.
