How do I convert a PDF to Excel?

Open EdgeDocs' PDF to Excel tool, select your PDF, and the tool will detect and extract table structures. Download the result as an Excel spreadsheet with rows and columns preserved.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs contain images, not text. For best results with scanned documents, run them through the PDF OCR tool first to create a searchable text layer, then convert to Excel.

Will the formatting be preserved?

The tool preserves table structure — rows, columns, and cell alignment. Complex formatting like merged cells, colors, and borders may require manual cleanup in Excel.

Is my financial data safe during conversion?

Yes. EdgeDocs processes everything in your browser. Your PDF — including any financial figures, account numbers, or personal data — never leaves your device.

Can I convert multiple pages with tables?

Yes. The tool processes all pages and extracts tables it finds throughout the document. Multi-page tables may need minor cleanup at page breaks.

Extract PDF Tables Without Uploading Your Data

Financial statements, invoices, and reports often arrive as PDFs but need to be in Excel for analysis. Most converters upload your file — along with every account number and figure — to their servers. EdgeDocs extracts tables locally so your financial data stays on your device.
