Frequently asked questions
- What if the PDF has no real tables?
- PDFs with visually tabular content but no underlying table structure may convert with reduced accuracy. Text-based PDFs with real table tags work best.
- Can it handle multi-page tables?
- Yes. Tables spanning multiple pages are detected and merged into continuous data.
- Will formulas be restored?
- No. PDF output contains only values, not formulas. The XLSX output will contain the raw data values.
- Does it work on scanned PDFs?
- Scanned PDFs require OCR for accurate extraction. This tool works best with PDFs containing selectable text.
