PDF to Excel Guide
Extract tables from PDF into editable Excel (xlsx) worksheets, reconstructing the cell structure as faithfully as possible — great for reports and lists.
How to use
- Open iloveconvert.com and click the "PDF to Excel" icon on the home page, or go directly to iloveconvert.com/en/convert/pdf-to-excel/
- Add or drag a PDF containing tables
- Click the "Convert" button to start
- Download the xlsx result when finished
Notes
- PDFs with clearly ruled tables extract best; borderless tables can still be recognized but may need manual touch-up
- A text-only PDF produces one line of text per row in Excel — make sure the PDF actually contains tables
- Remove protection from encrypted PDFs before uploading
