PDF to Excel — online tool, included with Pro

Turn tables trapped in a PDF into a working Excel spreadsheet (XLSX). Bank statements, invoices, price lists and report appendices arrive as PDFs; this converter detects the table structure on each page and writes rows and columns into cells you can sort, filter and calculate with. This conversion runs on our servers, so it needs a signed-in account with an active plan; your file is processed once, and the converted file is kept for up to an hour so you can download it, then deleted automatically. Each page's tables land on their own sheet so nothing is merged incorrectly.

PDF to Excel runs on our secure servers and is included with a CraftMyDocs Pro plan. Uploaded files are deleted automatically after processing.

  • Tables become real cells — numbers stay numbers, so formulas work immediately
  • One worksheet per page keeps tables from different pages separate
  • Column alignment is detected from the PDF's text positions, not guessed
  • Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers and LibreOffice Calc
  • Server-side processing with automatic deletion afterwards

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on scanned statements?

A scan has no text layer, so there is nothing to place in cells. Run the PDF through the OCR tool first to extract the text, or request a digital copy of the statement from the issuer — digital PDFs convert accurately.

Why did some numbers come through as text?

Values with currency symbols, thousands separators in an unexpected locale, or trailing footnote markers are kept as text so nothing is silently changed. Select the column in Excel and use Data → Text to Columns or a Number format to convert them.

What about merged cells and multi-line headers?

Multi-line headers are usually split across two rows; merged cells are approximated by repeating or leaving blanks. Complex financial layouts may need a few minutes of tidying, but the data itself arrives in the right columns.

Is my financial data safe?

The file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed once and never stored; the spreadsheet is kept for up to an hour so you can download it, then deleted automatically. Nothing is reused.
