PDF to CSV

Yes, it's completely free with no account, subscription, or installation required. Convert as many PDF tables to CSV as you need, and there's no watermark added to the output.

Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection and processed on a secure server, then made available only to you for download. It isn't shared with anyone, and processed files are removed automatically.

Most everyday PDFs with tables convert without trouble. Very large files with hundreds of pages may take longer to process, so for the fastest results split big documents before extracting the tables you need.

The tool detects rows and columns from PDFs that contain real, structured tables and preserves their layout in the CSV. Scanned image-only PDFs without selectable text generally need OCR first for accurate extraction.

Absolutely. The output is a standard comma-separated CSV file that opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, LibreOffice Calc, or any database tool, ready for sorting, filtering, and analysis.

Only if the PDF contains a real text layer. Scans are images, so the converter sees no characters to extract. Run the document through OCR PDF first to add a searchable text layer, then convert it — and expect some manual cleanup in the spreadsheet, because OCR occasionally misreads digits, decimal separators and currency symbols.

Yes — set the page range so the converter only processes the pages you need. That is faster on long reports and avoids pulling unrelated tables into the same file. For a report that repeats the same table layout on every page, converting a single page first is a good way to check whether the row and column detection works well.

Merged cells are flattened into ordinary rows and columns, so a heading that spans three columns simply appears once with empty neighbours. Multi-line cell contents may arrive as a single row with line breaks, and totals rows are treated as data. Expect to spend a few minutes restructuring the sheet — check the row count against the source before you use the numbers.

Values are extracted as text exactly as they appear in the PDF. Excel and Google Sheets usually convert plain numbers automatically, but dates in unusual formats, thousands separators and currency symbols may need reformatting after import. Verify totals and identifiers such as invoice or account numbers against the original before using the data.

Each page is processed as its own table, so a table spread over several pages often arrives as repeated header rows or separate blocks. Import the file, then delete the duplicate headers and join the rows. For long financial statements, converting page ranges one at a time can produce cleaner results than converting everything at once.
