Frequently asked questions
No AI — it is pure geometry. It reads the position of every piece of text on the page and looks for runs of lines where the text aligns into columns (the same principle as a bank statement or a price list: date in one column, description in another, amount in another). Where there is no such alignment, the text is treated as an ordinary paragraph and stays out of the spreadsheet.
On plain, well-formatted tables (statements, price lists, invoices with a straightforward layout) it usually does. On tables with merged cells, several header rows or a heavily designed look, the alignment can come out crooked — that is why the tool shows a preview on screen before you download: check the columns right there, and fix it in Excel if you need to.
CSV, which Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets all open directly. If the PDF has more than one table, they all come in the same file, each with a header showing its number and page.
Each page is analyzed separately, so a table that spans pages appears as two separate tables in the file (one per page). Just copy and paste the rows together in your spreadsheet afterwards.
No. The extraction depends on the PDF having selectable text — a photo of a document has no text to locate. In that case, run it through the "Image to text (OCR)" tool first.
No. Reading the file, finding the tables and building the spreadsheet all happen entirely in your browser — the PDF never leaves your device.
