Statements, timetables, results tables, invoices: the data is in the PDF, but locked in a layout. Table extraction looks at where the text sits on each page, finds runs of lines that share column positions, and splits them into cells. Each detected table becomes a CSV file or a sheet in an Excel workbook.
Detection is based on text positions, so ruled or well-aligned tables work best. Scans need OCR first. Everything runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Nothing was detected
The text may not line up in columns, or the PDF is a scan (run OCR PDF first). Try “Every line” mode.
Cells are shifted
Irregular tables can confuse column detection; tidy up in the spreadsheet or try the other mode.
