Hey everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations on the best tools out there for converting tables inside PDF files to Excel format. I've tried quite a few options already, but haven't found anything that works perfectly yet.

My current process always involves manually cleaning up the generated Excel files after conversion. I end up having to delete extraneous elements, fix formatting issues, etc.

I'm open to both free and paid solutions. Ideally looking for something that:

1. Accurately preserves table structure

2. Handles multi-page tables well

3. Minimizes formatting/cleanup needed after conversion

What tools have you had good experiences with? Any tips for getting cleaner results from the conversion process?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

i have a test to get accepted in a job i just have to simply convert a pdf to excel,

and the tools i see are either not for free or are just totally not helpful

can someone help me please.Thank you

I have a 14 page PDF with a table of information that I want to have in an excel spreadsheet for referencing. It's 13 columns by 11 rows per page.. I initially was just entering it in manually but it is taking an ungodly amount of time. Does anyone know if there's a way to import it in as data and not an image/file, or if there are programs or services that do this?

My fingers thank you in advance lol.

I often have to convert a high number of pages from pdf to Excel. There is one decent converter which supports ocr but there's a daily limit.

Does anyone have any recommendations, one that doesn't put each page into it's own tab?

Thanks
