FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything about extracting tables from PDFs with PDFNEO.

How do I convert a PDF table to Excel for free?
Upload your PDF above, choose your preferred column separator in the options panel, and click Download Excel. It's free, with no accounts required.
How does PDFNEO parse columns?
PDF text doesn't always store grid coordinates. PDFNEO extracts spacing between words. By default, 'Multiple Spaces' treats consecutive spaces as column dividers, which works beautifully for standard printed reports.
Can I choose between CSV and Excel formats?
Yes. PDFNEO supports downloading the parsed table as a standard Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet (.xlsx) or as a Comma-Separated Values (.csv) text file.
What if my PDF contains multiple tables on different pages?
PDFNEO extracts text from all pages and compiles them into a single continuous table sheet. You can then easily group or split pages in your spreadsheet editor.
Are scanned images supported?
No. Scanned PDFs containing only image pixels do not have selectable text structures. Run the OCR PDF tool first to generate searchable text before converting.
