Tables that add up.

How it works
Three steps.
All on your PC.
- 01
Open Tools › PDF › PDF to Excel, or drop PDFs on the window.
- 02
Each table it finds becomes a worksheet named after its page.
- 03
Open the workbook from the Queue. Your PDF is never changed.
What you get
Built for the
real document.
Numbers that calculate
Amounts, percentages and currencies such as RM, $ and € become numbers; (45.00) becomes -45.
Codes kept intact
Identifiers like 007 and long account numbers stay text, so no leading zero is lost.
No surprise formulas
Cells that start with = stay text. Nothing is turned into a formula.
Good to know
Honest limits.
No surprises.
- Tables drawn with lines work best. Tables found by column alignment alone come with a warning.
- A PDF with no tables says so, instead of producing an empty workbook.
- Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first.

What if my PDF is a scan?
With Read scanned PDFs on (the default), scanned pages are read with Windows’ own text recognition first. Results depend on the scan.
Do I need Microsoft Excel?
Not to convert. The .xlsx is written by Podalls Convert; any spreadsheet app can open it.
