Extract tables and structured data from a PDF into an editable Excel (.xlsx) workbook.
What it does
It reads the tables in your PDF and reconstructs them as real spreadsheet cells across multiple sheets — a Document view, extracted Structured Data, and (for invoices) an Applied Invoices sheet with a Validation summary.
How it works
- Upload your PDF. Digital PDFs use their text geometry; scanned or image-only PDFs are read with OCR.
- The engine detects table rows, columns and totals and writes them into proper Excel cells (not a single-column dump).
- Download the .xlsx and open it in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.
Supported formats
Input: PDF (digital or scanned). Output: Excel .xlsx (multi-sheet).
What you get
A multi-sheet Excel .xlsx workbook with editable cells and, where detected, structured invoice data.
Important limitations
- Not every PDF becomes a perfect spreadsheet — irregular, borderless or multi-column tables can be split or merged incorrectly.
- Numbers are typed where confidently detected; check totals and important figures against the source before using them.

Frequently asked questions
- Does it work on scanned invoices and receipts?
- Yes. Scanned documents are read with OCR, and detected invoice fields (line items, totals) are placed into a structured sheet you can verify.
- Will every table convert perfectly?
- No tool can guarantee that. Well-ruled tables convert well; complex or borderless layouts may need manual cleanup, so always review the output.
- Can I convert Arabic financial documents?
- Yes — Arabic and English are supported. Right-to-left numbers and text are handled, though you should still verify figures.
- Is there an API for PDF to Excel?
- Yes. Call POST /api/v1/pdf/to-excel with options like conversion_mode and document_type. See the API documentation.
