How Tables Are Found
A PDF does not know what a table is. It only knows where each word is drawn. To turn PDF to Excel, the converter looks for text that lines up down the page: the left and right edges of each column, including numbers that are lined up on the right.
Each line becomes a row and each column becomes an Excel column. Values like £1,150.00, $3,200, (450) or 7.5% are turned into numbers with the right format, so sums and charts work. Headings and notes go in the first column, as they would in a hand-made sheet.
Scanned PDFs are pictures of text. Run OCR PDF on them first, then convert the result.
Columns
From text that lines up.
Real numbers
Prices and percentages.
Sheets
One per page, or one in all.
The Sales Report as a Spreadsheet

Retyping Figures or Converting
Typing numbers by hand is slow, and mistakes are easy.
| Typing by hand | PDF to Excel | |
|---|---|---|
| A 3-page report | An hour or more | Seconds, then a check |
| Typos | Easy to make | Copied exactly |
| Numbers | Formats added by hand | Already numbers |
