Check two rows

Compare the first and last row, dates, and amounts with the PDF before you use the sheet.

Questions people ask

How do I convert a PDF table to Excel for free?

Open a text PDF here, or paste the table text. The tool finds the table, cleans the headers and broken rows, and lets you download a CSV or copy it straight into Excel or Google Sheets.

Why does my PDF table paste into Excel wrong?

PDFs store text by position, not as cells. So copy-paste repeats page headers, splits one row across two lines, and shifts amount columns. This tool repairs those before the data reaches Excel.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The PDF is read in your browser, on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

It works best with text PDFs, the kind where you can select the text. For a scanned PDF, paste the text in paste mode instead.
