❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What types of PDFs work best with this tool?+

PDFs with clearly formatted tables, invoices, financial reports, data exports and spreadsheet-style layouts give the best results. Scanned PDFs with image-based text may produce less accurate results.

What is the difference between the extraction modes?+

"Tables Only" extracts detected table grids. "All Text" extracts every line of text as a row — good for lists and unstructured data. "Structured Data" uses column alignment to intelligently detect data columns even without visible table borders.

Which delimiter should I choose?+

Use comma for most applications including Excel and Google Sheets. Use semicolon if your data contains commas (common in European locales). Tab works well for pasting into spreadsheets. Pipe is good for databases and programming use.

Can I extract data from specific pages only?+

Yes. Use the Page Range option to set a start and end page. Only those pages will be processed, which is useful for large PDFs where the data is on specific pages.

Is my PDF file safe and private?+

Yes. All processing is done entirely in your browser. Your file is never sent to any server. Your data stays 100% private on your device.

Can I open the CSV in Excel or Google Sheets?+

Yes! The downloaded CSV can be opened directly in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc or any other spreadsheet application. You can also use the "Download as Excel" button to get a .xlsx file directly.

What happens if my PDF has multiple tables?+

All detected tables are extracted and combined into a single CSV file with a blank row separator between each table. You can also enable "One CSV Per Page" to get a separate file for each page.
