Frequently asked questions

Does this converter run OCR on scanned PDFs?

No. It extracts selectable text and detected table structures. Run OCR on image-only scans before using this tool.

Will the Excel file look exactly like the PDF?

No. Excel and PDF represent information differently. The workbook prioritizes editable rows and columns rather than recreating the page design.

Why did a page produce no data?

It may be an image-only scan, contain vector outlines instead of text, or have a structure that could not be detected as a table.

How are spreadsheet formulas handled safely?

Extracted values beginning with formula-trigger characters are stored as literal text to reduce spreadsheet formula-injection risk.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

Yes. Expand the password option and provide the correct open password.
