Why use this PDF to Excel converter
Image-only PDFs are read with OCR, so scanned statements and reports still give you rows and columns.
The surrounding text is kept separate, so paragraphs do not end up in cells.
With JSON output, each table has rows as arrays, which a few lines of code can write to .xlsx or .csv.
What people use it for
- Getting financial tables from annual reports into a spreadsheet
- Copying price lists and inventories out of supplier PDFs
- Reading tables from scanned invoices and statements
- Moving research data tables into Excel for analysis
