Frequently Asked Questions

How accurately does it extract complex tables?
It works incredibly well on clear, cleanly bordered tables. If your PDF has merged cells, nested tables, or complex visual formatting, you may need to manually tidy up the resulting spreadsheet.
Can it read scanned receipts or images of tables?
This specific tool requires the PDF to have actual text layers. If your PDF is a scanned image, you will need to use an OCR tool first to recognize the text before converting to Excel.
