Why copy & paste isn’t enough
Copying a table from a PDF into Excel usually lands everything in a single column — or every cell in its own row. PDFs store no table structure, only text at positions. The converter reconstructs the columns from those positions.
Which tables work well
- Clearly separated columns with consistent alignment.
- Tables spanning several pages — each page becomes its own block.
- Numbers in common formats like 1,234.56.
Scanned tables contain no text. Run OCR first.
After converting
- Check that numbers are right-aligned in Excel — that means they were recognized as numbers.
- Remove repeated header rows from multi-page tables with a filter.
- Compare a few totals with the PDF to make sure no row was split.
Tips
- Tables are detected from text alignment — clear columns give the best results.
- English and German number formats are recognized, including € and %.
- Run scanned tables through OCR first.
