About this tool
Copying a table out of a PDF and pasting it into Excel almost never works: everything lands in one column, because a PDF does not store "tables" — it stores pieces of text with coordinates.
Here the columns are reconstructed from the whitespace that recurs across every row. That is what separates right-aligned amounts correctly, which is where most converters fail.
You download a CSV that Excel opens directly. You can pick semicolon as the delimiter, which is what Excel expects in Spanish locales.
How it works
- 1
Drop the PDF.
- 2
Press Extract tables and check the preview.
- 3
Pick the delimiter and download the CSV.
- 4
Open it in Excel or Google Sheets.
Questions
- Why CSV and not .xlsx?
- Any spreadsheet opens CSV without plugins, and it is plain text you can inspect. We add a BOM so Excel respects accents.
- Excel puts everything in one column — what now?
- It is the delimiter: switch to semicolon before downloading. Excel in Spanish locales expects ";" instead of ",".
- Does it work with a scanned PDF?
- No: without a text layer there are no coordinates to read. Run the local OCR first and try again.
