Frequently asked questions
Will every PDF give a perfect table?
No tool can. Layouts vary. Plain, ruled tables in text-PDFs work best. Scanned PDFs need OCR first.
Why CSV instead of .xlsx?
CSV opens in Excel without any external library and produces clean output. To save as .xlsx, just choose "Save as" inside Excel after opening.
