Pull data straight from PDFs into a spreadsheet file in seconds.
Your file is deleted from our server right after processing.
Your file is uploaded securely to run this tool, then deleted from our server immediately after processing — never stored, logged, or shared.
1. Drag-and-drop or select your file in the workspace above.
2. Adjust any options this tool shows for your document.
3. Click "Process PDF to Excel" to run the conversion.
4. Download the finished file — your upload is deleted from our server right after processing.
PDF to Excel pulls the text out of your PDF and lines it up into columns wherever it finds gaps of two or more spaces between values, then hands back a spreadsheet file that opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers.
This works best on simple, evenly spaced tables — invoices, price lists, plain data grids — where each column has clear whitespace around it rather than a hairline border doing the separating. Tables with merged cells, multi-line entries, or columns crammed close together can end up split in the wrong place, since the tool is guessing at structure from spacing rather than reading an actual table grid — PDFs don't store one for it to read in the first place. It's worth a quick scan of the result before you build a report on top of it. Because the tool reads an existing text layer rather than the picture of a page, a scanned or photographed document needs OCR run on it first — there's no text to line up otherwise, and you'll get an empty file back instead of a spreadsheet.
Once your data's in spreadsheet form, clean up any misaligned columns and get to work, or convert it back to PDF later if you need to share it as a document again. Don't expect original formulas, cell colors, or multiple tabs to survive the trip — a PDF never had any of those to begin with, so there's nothing here to carry over. Only need the running words rather than a grid? PDF to Word keeps paragraphs as paragraphs instead of forcing everything into columns.
DocShift deletes your file from our server the moment processing finishes — nothing is stored, logged, or shared. There's nothing to install and no sign-up: your document is ready in seconds.
Upload the PDF and DocShift extracts its text, then splits each line into columns wherever it finds two or more spaces in a row, exporting the result as a spreadsheet file.
The converter guesses column breaks from whitespace, since a PDF doesn't store an actual table grid to read. Tight column spacing, merged cells, or multi-line entries can throw that guess off — check the result and adjust by hand where needed.
No. You'll get a single sheet of extracted data with no original formulas or styling, because a PDF never stored any of that to begin with.
You'll get back an empty or near-empty file. The extractor can only pull text the PDF already contains — a scanned page is a picture with nothing for it to read, so run OCR PDF first to create a text layer.
No — one PDF per run. Convert them one at a time and combine the resulting spreadsheets yourself if you need everything in a single file.
