Frequently Asked Questions
Which output format should I choose?
XLSX is recommended for Excel 2007 and later (most common). XLS format is for older Excel versions (97-2003). XLSX offers better compatibility, file size limits, and more features.
Will tables be preserved accurately?
We extract tables and data as accurately as possible. Simple tables convert well, while complex layouts or PDFs with multiple columns may require manual adjustment after conversion.
Can I convert scanned PDFs?
Our converter works best with text-based PDFs. Scanned PDFs (image-only) can be converted but may require OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract editable data.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes, you can upload multiple PDF files or a ZIP archive to Excel format for batch conversion.
What does the setting "Single Sheet" do?
When enabled, all tables that your PDF document contains will be merged onto one sheet in the Excel output. When disabled, different tables of your document will appear on seperate sheets in the Excel document.
What does the setting "OCR language" do?
For converting PDFs to Excel documents, OCR (Optimal Character Recognition) is required. If you select the language most prominent in the document, that technology can function better, and will allow more accurate PDF conversion.
