Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I convert a PDF table to Excel?
- Upload your PDF, select the pages containing tables, click Convert, and download an .xlsx file with your data ready to edit in Excel. No signup needed.
- How are tables recognised?
- Our software analyses the PDF structure and automatically identifies table rows and columns. It works best on clean, native PDF tables (exported from Excel, Word etc.) — scanned PDFs need OCR first.
- Can I select specific tables or pages?
- Yes, you can choose which pages to convert so you only extract the tables you need.
- What format do I get?
- You get an .xlsx file that opens directly in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers or LibreOffice Calc.
- Does it work on scanned PDFs (images)?
- Scanned PDFs are images, not text — so table extraction requires OCR (text recognition) first. Use our OCR tool first, then run PDF to Excel on the result.
- Is it free?
- Yes, PDF.dk converts PDF to Excel online for free — no watermark, no signup, EU-hosted and GDPR-safe.
