Your workbook is ready
Digital PDFs with selectable text produce the best table structure.
Scanned pages automatically pass through private OCR before Excel extraction.

Each page remains a separate worksheet named Page 1, Page 2, and so on.

OCR and table extraction run inside PDFit infrastructure without an external AI provider.
Files and temporary extracted text are removed automatically after delivery.

Common questions
Can PDFit convert scanned PDF tables to Excel?
Yes. When a usable text layer is missing, PDFit can run private OCR before table detection.
Can I choose which PDF tables go into Excel?
Yes. Review the detected tables, select the useful ones, and omit unrelated regions before export.
Review PDF tables before using them as spreadsheet data
This preview tool extracts detected table content. Use the preview to choose regions, then verify the downloaded workbook against the source.
Recover invoice or statement rows without unrelated tables
A PDF includes several tables, but you only need one set of rows for your spreadsheet.
What to do
Upload the PDF and choose Preview detected tables.
Compare the table samples with the source, clear the selections you do not need, and export the selected tables.
Open the XLSX workbook and compare column boundaries, identifiers, decimal values, and totals with the PDF before using the data.
What to expect
The workbook contains the selected detected tables, with source pages kept as separate worksheets.
Check before you share
The preview shows bounded samples, not every cell. Extraction does not restore the original workbook formulas, and complex table layouts may need manual correction.
Extract a table from a scan or photographed document
The page is an image rather than usable text, so the table needs recognition before extraction.
What to do
Choose the document language before uploading. Use a supported combined language option when it matches the document.
Upload the PDF and request the table preview. PDFit attempts private OCR when it cannot extract enough usable text.
Review the detected samples, export useful tables, and compare numbers, dates, and identifiers in the workbook with the original scan.
What to expect
When recognition and table detection succeed, scanned table content becomes editable cells in an XLSX workbook.
Check before you share
Blur, skew, faint print, or complex layouts can produce errors or prevent useful detection. OCR is not a guarantee of accurate financial data; verify the downloaded cells.
Extract only the table pages from a long report
Only a few pages contain useful data, while the rest add processing and review work.
What to do
Use Extract PDF pages to create a PDF containing only the pages with the required tables.
Upload that shorter PDF here, preview its detected tables, and select the regions you need.
Export the workbook and check each page worksheet. Combine rows in your spreadsheet editor if you need one continuous table.
What to expect
You can review a focused set of tables and receive a workbook organized by the pages of the shorter input PDF.
Check before you share
Page worksheets follow the input PDF, so page numbers change if you extract a subset first. The tool does not automatically join a table spanning several pages into one sheet.
