How this tool works
PDF to Excel: a practical guide
Groups extracted text by its vertical position and creates a worksheet for each PDF page. Text objects become cells in approximate reading order.
Steps to use this tool
- Select a PDF containing positioned text.
- Choose PDF to Excel.
- Open the XLSX and compare rows and amounts with the PDF.
Tested example — 19 October 2026
The sample workbook contains two worksheets and the source row label Haircut.
Selected sample: sample.pdf (2421 bytes, 2 pages).
Measured output: sample.xlsx — 17024 bytes.
Test environment: Node + native canvas + actual site-ui.js form integration in LinkeDOM Representative sample; inspect your own output.
Check the result
Open the XLSX and compare several source row labels and amounts. Treat numbers and column boundaries as data requiring review before calculations.
Files and privacy
The public tool processes selected documents in your browser. It does not send document bytes to a conversion server. The page and its bundled libraries still download from this website. Keep the original, use an up-to-date browser and inspect your output before sharing it. See the privacy policy for hosting and support information.
If processing fails
An image-only statement has no text rows to export. Run OCR first, and use the original statement to resolve columns that the position-based grouping separates incorrectly.
