Nothing is uploaded — your file is processed on this device.
Rows are detected from text lines and columns are split where wide gaps appear. Complex or borderless tables usually need tidying up in your spreadsheet afterwards.

About this tool
Bank statements, invoices and reports arrive as PDFs with data locked inside them. Retyping is slow and error-prone. This tool reads each page's text, treats every line as a row and splits it into cells where the original layout left a wide gap or a tab.
The result is an .xlsx workbook with one sheet per page, which is a working starting point rather than a perfect table. PDFs contain no table structure, so no converter can be exact; getting numbers into cells you can sort and total is usually 90% of the job.
What it's good for
- Getting statement transactions into a spreadsheet for reconciliation.
- Extracting a price list from a supplier PDF.
- Pulling figures out of a report to chart them.
- Turning an invoice breakdown into rows you can total.

Questions people ask
- Why are columns merged?
- Columns separated by a single space cannot be distinguished from words. Use Excel's Text to Columns to finish the split.
- Does it work on scans?
- No. OCR the document first, then convert the recognised text.
- Are formulas or formatting recreated?
- No — you get values, ready for your own formatting.
