Question 1

How does the PDF table extractor work?

Accepted Answer

Upload your PDF and we analyze the text layout to detect table structures. Text items are grouped by position into rows and columns, then exported as CSV or displayed in a table format.

Question 2

What types of PDFs work best?

Accepted Answer

Text-based PDFs with clearly formatted tables work best. Complex nested tables, scanned documents, or tables spanning multiple pages may have reduced accuracy.

Question 3

Is my PDF data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server.

Question 4

Can I extract multiple tables from one PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The tool attempts to detect multiple tables per page and across pages. Each detected table is shown separately.

Question 5

What formats can I export to?

Accepted Answer

You can copy table data directly, download as CSV for Excel/Google Sheets, or view the structured table in your browser.

Question 6

Why are some tables not detected correctly?

Accepted Answer

Table detection relies on text positioning. PDFs with images instead of text, unusual layouts, or merged cells may not be detected accurately.
