    Turn PDF tables into a spreadsheet

    Bank statements, invoices, price lists and reports often arrive as PDFs. PDF to Excel reads the text of each page: words on the same line become a row, and words that line up vertically become a column. Values such as 1,234.56, $45.00 and 12% become real numbers with matching formats, so SUM and other formulas work straight away.

    One sheet per page, or everything in one

    • One per page: each PDF page gets its own worksheet. Good for reports where each page is a different table.
    • All pages in one: every row on one sheet. Best for long statements that continue over several pages.

    What works best

    • PDFs made on a computer (exported from a bank, an accounting program or Excel itself).
    • Scanned statements have no text to read: convert them with PDF to Word using OCR, or make them searchable with OCR PDF first.
    • Very tight or irregular layouts can merge or split columns. Check the result and adjust it in Excel.

    PDF to Excel: questions and answers

    How are tables detected?

    Text on the same line becomes a row, and text that lines up vertically becomes a column. It works best with PDFs made on a computer, such as statements, invoices and reports.

    Do scanned PDFs work?

    No, a scan has no text to read. Convert it with PDF to Word using OCR instead.

    Are numbers kept as numbers?

    Yes. Values such as 1,234.56, $45.00 and 12% become numbers with matching formats, ready for formulas.

    Some columns are merged or split.

    Very tight or irregular layouts can confuse column detection. Check the result and adjust it in Excel.

    Can I convert a bank statement PDF to Excel?

    Yes, if the statement was downloaded from your bank (not scanned). Choose All pages in one to get every transaction on one sheet, then check the totals.

    Is my financial data uploaded?

    No. The PDF is read inside your browser, so statements and invoices never leave your device.
