Text-based PDFs only. Column alignment uses position heuristics — simple tables convert well, complex layouts may need manual cleanup.

What is PDF to Excel?

PDF to Excel extracts text content from PDF pages and organises it into an XLSX spreadsheet. Each page becomes a separate sheet with text items placed in columns based on their horizontal position in the PDF.

How It Works

Drop your PDF. pdfjs-dist extracts every text item along with its X/Y coordinates. Items on the same line are grouped into a row; their X positions are clustered into columns. The result is written to an XLSX file using SheetJS — entirely in your browser.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your PDF

    Drop a PDF containing tables or spreadsheet data onto the upload area.

  2. 2

    Start conversion

    Click "Convert to Excel". The tool detects table structures in the PDF and maps them to rows and columns.

  3. 3

    Review table detection

    Complex multi-column layouts may need review after conversion. The tool preserves as much structure as possible.

  4. 4

    Download the XLSX

    Save the Excel workbook to your device and open it in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice Calc.

  5. 5

    Edit the data

    Once in Excel, you can sort, filter, and calculate freely. Reformatting may be needed for complex PDFs.
