Tips & Best Practices for Conversion

  • After converting, double-check the Excel file for any formatting quirks, especially with complex tables that have merged cells or multiple headers.
  • This tool works best with native, text-based PDFs. If your PDF is a scan (an image of a table), the data will not be converted into editable cells.
  • Ensure your original PDF has a clear, well-defined table structure for the most accurate results.
  • Once in Excel, you can use features like 'Text to Columns' to further clean up any data if needed.
