How to convert a PDF to Excel

Pull the tables out of a PDF into an .xlsx workbook, with the rows and columns kept as real cells you can sort and calculate. Free, no watermark.

Financial statements, price lists and reports often lock their data in a PDF table. This converter detects the table structure and rebuilds it as a spreadsheet, so numbers land in their own cells instead of one long text blob.

Clean, ruled tables convert best; tables without borders may need a little column adjustment afterwards.

This tool uses FileQuick’s conversion engine. To go from a spreadsheet to PDF, use Excel to PDF.

Steps

  1. Open PDF to Excel and upload your PDF.
  2. Wait while the tables are detected and rebuilt.
  3. Download the .xlsx workbook.
  4. Open it in Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extract a table from a PDF to Excel?

Upload the PDF — the converter finds the tables and writes them to an .xlsx file with the rows and columns as real cells.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Digital PDFs convert best. Scans depend on OCR quality and may need more clean-up.

What if the table has no borders?

Borderless tables are harder to detect — expect to adjust a few column splits after converting.

Is there a watermark?

No — the .xlsx has no watermark.
