Question 1

Is converting PDF to Excel safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely safe. All processing is done in your browser; the PDF file never leaves your device and is not uploaded to any server.

Question 2

Why are some table rows and columns inaccurate?

Accepted Answer

This tool automatically infers rows and columns based on text coordinates on the page, working well for regular tables; but merged cells, cross-row text, or complex layouts may be inaccurately identified, and manual adjustment may be needed in Excel after conversion.

Question 3

Can scanned PDFs be converted?

Accepted Answer

Cannot be converted directly. Scans are images without a text layer, so text cannot be extracted. Please use an OCR tool to convert the scan into a selectable-text PDF first, then convert.

Question 4

Should I choose .xlsx or CSV?

Accepted Answer

Choose .xlsx if you want to retain each page as a separate worksheet or continue editing in Excel. Choose CSV if you only need plain data, to import into other systems, or for a smaller file size.
