PDF to Excel and CSV Converter

Extract a PDF Table

Choose a PDF from your device and enter the pages that contain the table. Find its edges in the source preview and enter their positions as percentages of the page.

Set the column breaks where one field ends and the next begins. Select Extract table to fill the grid with any selectable text in the area. If the area has no selectable text, the browser reads the image using optical character recognition (OCR). For a scan, choose English or French and rotate the preview until the text is upright.

Review Columns Before Export

Load the fictitious lender schedule to try a two-page table. The description for reference 0017 wraps onto a second line. Join the two lines in the description cell and remove the extra row. Remove the repeated column header from page two.

In the example, the merged heading can fall into one column, and a missing separator can shift the next value. Adjust the column breaks, then edit any remaining misplaced cells in the grid. Leave a blank cell when the source gives no value.

Compare the last data row on one page with the first data row on the next. Select Try clear scan and Try faint scan to see how blur affects the same sample table. Compare each “Check scan” cell with the source and edit any mismatches. Check all amounts, minus signs and decimal separators before confirming the grid.

Save as Excel or CSV

Choose Excel for an editable workbook with rows and columns. Its cells store the reviewed values as text, so a reference such as 0017 and an ambiguous date such as 03/04 stay as written.

Choose CSV when another system expects delimited values. Select the separator that system expects. CSV carries the text without workbook cell types, so import it as text to preserve leading zeros and date strings. If a cell looks like a spreadsheet formula, save as Excel to keep the value as literal text.

Reopen the workbook and compare the reference and amount columns with the preview. Import the CSV with your selected separator and UTF-8 encoding, then confirm the same columns and an accented value such as Café.

Select a Free PDF to CSV Converter

Try a representative table with non-client data first. Check that the tool reads the text in the PDF, lets you correct the preview and downloads the format you need for free. Reopen the export to check the column alignment. For confidential files, confirm where the converter processes and retains document data before choosing the file.

The best fit is the converter that can handle your document and gives you a way to catch errors before you use the rows. A grid that looks tidy can still put a charge in the wrong column.

Recognise When a Statement Needs More

General PDF extraction places text in cells. A bank statement converter identifies transaction dates, descriptions, debits, credits and balances as separate fields. For a supported statement, use the bank statement to Excel converter when you need those fields and a running-balance check.
