Accurately convert PDF to Excel

What is PDFTables?

PDFTables provides a solution for converting PDF documents into various structured file types, including Microsoft Excel (XLSX), Comma Separated Values (CSV), eXtensible Markup Language (XML), and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The service utilizes an algorithm that analyzes the structure within PDF files, interpreting spacing and layout to accurately identify table rows and columns for extraction. This process helps users avoid manual data entry or transcription from PDFs, saving significant time.

Operating as a cloud-based service powered by Amazon Web Services, PDFTables ensures security and reliability, employing end-to-end encryption for all transactions. It offers both an online interface for manual conversions and a web API for developers seeking to automate large-volume PDF conversions or integrate the functionality into their own applications. Advanced technical support is available during UK business hours.
