Why convert PDF to Excel?
Numbers in a PDF can be read but not worked with. In a spreadsheet, they become data you can analyse.
Data you can work with
Excel files open in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets and other spreadsheet apps, so your data is ready for formulas and charts.
- No retyping. Move table data into cells instead of copying it by hand.
- Sort and filter. Find what you need in long lists and statements.
- Calculate. Add totals, formulas and charts to the figures.
What is PDF to Excel conversion?
PDF to Excel conversion finds the tables in a PDF and places their contents into rows and columns in an Excel (XLSX) workbook. It works best on PDFs that contain real text with clearly laid-out tables.
