Frequently asked questions
- How accurate is the table extraction?
- Excellent for clean, machine-generated PDFs (financial statements, exported reports). Variable for scanned PDFs because we don't OCR — for those, run our PDF OCR tool first to add a text layer, then convert.
- Will it preserve formulas?
- No — PDFs only contain values, not formulas. You get the visible numbers, which you can re-formula in Excel.
- Are images and headers exported too?
- Headers and footers become regular cell text on each sheet. Images are skipped because they don't fit the table model; use our PDF to PNG tool if you need the visual.
- What's the maximum PDF size?
- 20 MB upload and 60 second processing. Hundred-page tables work; thousand-page archive dumps will time out.
- Will it work with European number formats?
- Yes — comma decimals (1.234,56) are detected and exported as native Excel numbers. Mixed formats in one column fall back to text.
