PDF to Excel

Rows of text become cells. Charts, fonts, and the original column widths are not kept.

Spreadsheets are built with ExcelJS (MIT). Text is read with PDF.js (Apache-2.0).

About this tool

PDF to Excel places extracted text into spreadsheet cells. It is a convenience dump for copying figures, not a reconstruction of the original workbook’s column widths, charts, or formulas.

Scans without a text layer will not fill cells. True table detection is heuristic. For a real CSV you already have, skip PDF and use CSV to JSON or Excel itself.

PDF.js extracts text locally; exceljs writes an .xlsx in the browser. 50 MB, 100 pages. Encrypted PDFs refused.

How to convert PDF to Excel

  1. Choose a PDF that already has a text layer, not a scan.
  2. Convert. Review the sheet — columns may not match the page art.
  3. Download the xlsx.

50 MB, 100 pages. No OCR, no charts, no formula recovery.

FAQ

Are PDF text runs shipped out to build the xlsx?
No. Extract and xlsx build are local.
Will each column line up?
Only when the text already lines up enough to look like cells. Many PDFs will dump into a single column.
Can I SUM the cells this PDF dump creates?
Best-effort. Some values stay text. Check before you sum.
Multiple tables on one page?
They may concatenate. Split PDF to isolate a table if you can.
Need CSV?
Open the xlsx and export, or start from JSON to CSV if your source was JSON.
